- W3121805580 abstract "Several years ago, I began work on a book about the system of capital punishment in the United States, the thesis of which was that the process of death sentencing required ordinary people (as citizens, voters and, especially, as jurors) to do an extraordinary thing—participate in authorizing the killing of another person. For this reason, I argued, the system of death sentencing depended on an elaborate scaffolding of myth and misinformation designed to blur that core truth, preventing the people who participated in the process from fully understanding exactly what they were being asked to do. In the course of the background research and reading that I did as I was beginning to write, I revisited some of the landmark death penalty cases that were crucial to the development of modern capital jurisprudence. They were cases that I had not read in years. This time, however, I realized something that I had not noticed when I first read them. In three of the pivotal death penalty decisions decided in the last half century—arguably, the three pivotal decisions—Furman v. Georgia, Gregg v. Georgia, and McCleskey v. Kemp, there was literally no mitigation whatsoever presented to the jurors who sentenced the defendants to death. Moreover, this fact was apparently so insignificant to the Justices who decided the cases that not one of them saw fit to mention it anywhere in their opinions. This was especially telling and ironic in Gregg because “mitigation” was explicitly identified as one of the key components in the new and improved death penalty statutes that the Court found constitutional. And it was even more notable in McCleskey, where the Court had denied the petitioner’s challenge to the death penalty in part by emphasizing the “‘unceasing" @default.
