Supreme Court ends mandatory death for cop killers
The Supreme Court ruled that states cannot impose mandatory death sentences for those convicted of killing police officers. Judges and juries must consider case-specific details, allowing life imprisonment as an alternative. Law enforcement groups criticized the ruling, while some justices dissented. The decision affects Louisiana and similar statutes and leaves open future cases on inmates already on death row.
