Death penalty appeals push court to ban capital punishment
Lawyers for Alvarez and Boykin seek a ruling that the Eighth Amendment bars the death penalty as cruel and unusual. Alvarez, 19, confessed to raping and killing Mrs. Mary O'Shea in 1966. Boykin, also in 1966, robbed stores with no fatalities. NAACP and ACLU-backed appeals argue penalties are brutal and discriminatory, citing Maxwell's Arkansas rape conviction and broader regional patterns. Sixteen states retain capital punishment for rape, mostly in the South.
