The primary effect of Gregg v. The State of Georgia was in the U.S. Incomparable Court's choice that capital punishment was constitutional in as much as the systems associated with its execution did not abuse the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. As it were, states were allowed to force the death penalty. In this case the jury found Gregg guilty of armed robbery and murder. He was sentenced to death and challenged the death to murder and claimed it was cruel and unusual punishment that violated his 8th and 14th amendment. This case will help me understand the perception of the effectiveness of capital punishment in reducing violent crime

Researchers have reached widely varying, even contradictory, conclusions. Some studies have concluded that the threat of capital punishment deters murders, saving large numbers of lives; other studies have concluded that executions actually increase homicides; still others, those executions have no effect on murder rates. Commentary among researchers, advocates, and policymakers on the scientific validity of the findings has sometimes been acrimonious. Against this backdrop, the National Research Council Report Deterrence and the Death Penalty assesses whether the available evidence provides a scientific basis for answering questions of if and how the death penalty affects homicide rates.

Furman tripped and fell while trying to leave a home he was burglarizing. The weapon went off and killed someone in the house. He was sentenced to death for the killing. Does this constitute cruel and unusual punishment for accidentally killing someone you planned to rob? I chose this case because I believe it will help me decide and explain why the public has a strong belief in the eighth amendment. Does the eighth amendments abolish death or does this case calls for cruel and unusual punishment?

In this article the support of the United States federal government criminal justice system support, capital punishment. While some may disapprove it is a legal penalty. Some countries have abolished the death penalty whereas, few retain it for some unusual offense only. In one-fourth state of the US death penalty is still possible whereas; the execution has declined from 199 in the year 1935, i.e., less than 3 in 4 years. The death penalty, known as capital punishment, is a legal punishment in 28 states of the US, authorized by the US military and federal government. Capital punishment is given to those who have imposed crimes like murder, espionage, large-scale drug trafficking, attempt to murder, or juror. The death penalty is wrong, it put a disproportionate impact on a certain group and is proven as a bad example of blind justice. In the US 6-10% of prisoners on death row are suffering from mental illness according to the MHA survey.
