Death penalty ruled 'cruel and unusual' - Furman v. Georgia, 1972

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Generally sound.  Brennan's and Marshall's concurrences (they were the only two who found the death penalty totally unconstitutinal) were unsound.  But the basic finding that the inequitible application of the death penalty constitutes "unusual punishment" is sound.

Woodson v. North Carolina was unsound, but not Furman v. Georgia.
