Knapp v. Arizona
435 U.S. 908 | SCOTUS | 1978
Lead Opinion
Sup. Ct. Ariz. Certiorari denied.
Concurrence Opinion
concurs in the denial of certiorari in this case on the usual understanding that it is without prejudice to petitioner’s seeking relief by habeas corpus.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227, 231 (1976), we would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.
