Williams v. Indiana

459 U.S. 808 | SCOTUS | 1982

Lead Opinion

Appeal from Sup. Ct. Ind. dismissed for want of substantial federal question.






Dissenting Opinion

Justice Brennan and Justice Marshall,

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 vacate the death sentence in this case.
