The United States has not always had the death penalty. In 1972 the United States Supreme Court called for a moratorium on the death penalty with the case of Furman v. Georgia and brought it back in 1976 with the case of Gregg v. Georgia.
Gregg v Georgia, in 1976, said that the death penalty could be used with guided discretion. Four years earlier, in Furman v Georgia, it was determined that the death penalty was being given in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and that there needed to be more consistency, which started the four-year moratorium.
In Georgia, all death penalty sentences are reviewed by the Georgia Supreme Court. This review process ensures that the sentences comply with legal standards and that the death penalty is applied fairly and consistently. The court examines the case for any procedural errors, issues of evidence, and whether the sentence is proportional to similar cases. Additionally, the Georgia Resource Center provides legal representation for death row inmates during this review process.
