Abstract:
Perhaps the most important and certainly the most talked about decision of the United State Supreme court was its approval of the death penalty for murder in the statutes of Georgia, Florida, and Texas, and disapproval of it under the laws of North Carolina and Louisiana. This article summarizes the Court's reasons for its decisions and to outline the North Carolina General Assembly's limited options if it wants to restore capital punishment.
