CAPITAL SENTENCING UNDER AMERICAN CRIMINAL LAW

Öz

U.S. penal law still has capital punishment practice. This article aims to explain how a defendant can be sentenced to death in U.S. Penal Law. In Ring v. Arizona, the Supreme Court held that a jury, not a judge, must fi nd beyond a reasonable doubt any aggravating factors which are necessary for a defendant to be eligible for the death penalty. This holding served as a signifi cant departure from the prior understanding of capital jurisprudence as it overruled a prior Supreme Court opinion upholding the Arizona capital sentencing procedure. Previously, the Supreme Court held that jury sentencing in capital cases was not constitutionally required, and a judge could sentence a defendant to death. Ring curtailed this holding in that a jury now must make any necessary fact-fi nding in order to render a defendant eligible for death. This ruling invalidated fi ve states’ capital sentencing systems and brought into question several states which had a “hybrid” system where a jury rendered an advisory opinion but the judge decided on the ultimate sentence.
