The Death Penalty's Numbered Days?
Improving Forensic Science
The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology is proud to partner with the American Bar Association and announce the upcoming symposium, The Role of the Courts in Improving Forensic Science. The Symposium will examine the progress made since The National Academy of Science issued a report on the handling of forensic science in court and address the role of the court in improving forensic science.
The Death Penalty's Numbered Days?
“Nearly 40 years ago, this Court upheld the death penalty under statutes that, in the Court's view, contained safeguards sufficient to ensure that the penalty would be applied reliably and not arbitrarily. . . . The circumstances and the evidence of the death penalty's application have changed radically since then. Given those changes, I believe that it is now time to reopen the question.” ~Justice Stephen Breyer, Dissenting Glossip v. Gross, 135 S. Ct. 2726, 2755 (2015).
