Supreme Court Upholds Jury Discretion in Death Penalty
The Supreme Court, in a six to three ruling, held that leaving juries with the power to choose life or death in capital cases does not violate the Constitution. The decision also allowed no mandatory separation of the penalty phase from the guilt phase. Justice Harlan wrote for the majority, joined by Burger Blackmun and others, while Brennan Douglas and Marshall dissented. The ruling impacts hundreds on death row and signals potential early executions.

Federal Funds Denied for Oshkosh Senior Center
City Manager Gordon Jaeger announced the state Division on Aging denied Oshkosh’s request for federal funds to open a senior center, ending almost three years of efforts. The decision shifts focus to a locally financed program and possible inclusion in a housing project, with costs estimated at 24000 dollars for the first year. The Masonic Temple site was proposed, while the school district’s recreation department runs a small program and would need board approval to expand.
