Maryland AG weighs constitutional questions on death penalty law
The Maryland attorney general's office is drafting a letter to local prosecutors about questions raised by a recent Supreme Court ruling affecting the state death penalty law. Deputy AG George Nilson says Maryland’s provision mirrors Texas and should be constitutional as it allows mitigating evidence of future violence. Critics from the Legal Defense Fund say the Maryland law, like nine others, could be challenged for not allowing a full range of mitigating circumstances at sentencing after the Ohio ruling deemed its statute unconstitutional.
