  15. Do you think the minority or majority of states use capital punishment?

  16. How about around the world?

  17. Furman v. Georgia 1972 • 1972: U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states’ procedures in determining what convicted offenders were eligible for the death penalty were too inconsistent. • De facto moratorium lasted four years • States re-wrote procedures in determining eligibility for death penalty so they were not in violation of …… What?

  18. Georgia • The defendant has previously been convicted of a capital felony or has a history of committing serious felonies. • The capital felony was committed while the defendant was committing another capital felony. • The defendant created a grave risk of death to others. • The defendant committed the crime for the purpose of receiving money or anything else of value. • The defendant killed a judge or prosecutor exercising his official duties. • The defendant hired a killer. • The crime was "outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible, or inhuman in that it involved torture, depravity of mind, or an aggravated battery to the victim.“[ • The defendant killed a police officer, prison guard, or fireman in the line of duty. • The offense was committed by someone who had escaped from prison. • The offense was committed for the purpose of avoiding arrest.

  19. Texas • murder of a peace officer or fireman; • murder committed in the course of committing kidnapping, burglary, robbery, forcible rape, or arson; • murder committed for remuneration (contract killing); • murder committed while escaping or attempting to escape from a penal institution; and • murder committed by a prison inmate when the victim is a prison employee. • whether the conduct of the defendant that caused the death of the deceased was committed deliberately and with the reasonable expectation that the death of the deceased or another would result; • whether there is a probability that the defendant would commit criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing threat to society (under Texas law, "society" was defined as both inside and outside of the prison system; thus, a defendant who would pose a threat to persons inside prison – such as other inmates or correctional officers – would be eligible for the death penalty); and • if raised by the evidence, whether the conduct of the defendant in killing the deceased was unreasonable in response to the provocation, if any, by the deceased.
