Supreme Court Death Penalty Ruling Leaves Door Ajar
The high court’s decision to outlaw the death penalty as currently imposed opens only a narrow path for Congress or states to craft new laws. Justices Brennan and Marshall supported full prohibition, while White Stewart and Douglass argued for legislative safeguards and nonarbitrary sentencing. Chief Justice Burger noted the outcome is an unsettled limbo with no clear mandate. Nixon voiced hope the ruling would not bar capital punishment for federal crimes like kidnapping and hijacking.
