• W2767442869 abstract "COMMENT Racial Disparities and the Law of Death: The Case for a New Hard Look at Race-Based Challenges to Capital Punishment INTRODUCTION A review of capital sentences imposed throughout the United States dur- ing this century suggests that Blacks have been executed in disproportionate numbers to the general population,' and certainly relative to all defendants prosecuted for capital offenses. 2 Since the Supreme Court's reinstatement of the death penalty in 19761 and its concomitant rejection of judicial execution as inherently violative of the eighth amendment, death row challenges have been advanced on a host of other theories. 4 However, with the recent failure of challenges premised on due process arguments, 5 major legal impediments to capital punishment have been cleared away. This Comment considers the jurisprudential problems engendered by a recent race-based challenge to the imposition of the death penalty in Georgia. This Comment advances a rationale for sustaining race-based fourteenth amendment 'challenges to execution. The thesis of this Comment is that although demographics establish that the administration of the death penalty is infected with racism, the Supreme Court in McCleskey v. Kemp 6 engaged in lame judicial analysis and ex- pounded an extremely narrow interpretation of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. I argue that Furman v. Georgia, and Batson v. Kentucky, 8 when taken together, stand for the proposition that any risk of 1. Since 1930, there have been 3,894 people lawfully executed; 2,077 were Black, which is over half of the total, and almost five times the proportion of Blacks in the population as a whole.

Texas, 428 U.S. 262 (1976) (upholding Texas' capital sentencing procedure). 4. This Comment is not about any of the following theories for challenging the imposition of capital punishment: whether execution of juveniles and the mentally insane is unconstitutional, see Ford v. Wainwright, 477 U.S. 399 (1986); the cruelty of capital punishment as judged by contempo- rary social science and moral theory; the evidence for or against the deterrent effects of executing convicted murders; the economics of the death penalty; the cruelty of executions and conditions on death row; or the problems of selecting jurors in capital trials (except as indicative of racism). These theories are beyond the scope of my inquiry. But see Stillman, Abolish the Death Penalty, 4 LEGAL REFERENCE SERVICE Q. (Fall 1984); Dolinko, How to Criticize the Death Penalty, 77 J. CRIM. L. & CRIMINOLOGY 546 (1986). 5. See generally Geimer, Death At Any Cost: A Critique of the Supreme Court's Recent Retreat from Its Death Penalty Standards, 12 FLA. ST. U.L. REv. 737 (1980). 6. 107 S. Ct. 1756 (1987). 7. 408 U.S. 238 (1972). 8. 476 U.S. 79 (1986). Baston has instructive precedential value for the thesis of this Comment." @default.
