## Description

Against the Death Penalty [Breyer, Stephen, Bessler, John] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Against the Death Penalty

Review: SCOTUS Jurist on Death Penalty - The small book (only 162 pages) packs a wallop. The book is comprised of 3 parts: The first part is a 70-page introduction by Law Professor John D. Bessler, the second part is a 26-page dissent written by Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer and the last part is the 'end matter' (66-pages consisting of Appendices A through E, Notes and Index). The introduction covers the history of court cases involving the death penalty leading up to the recent decision in the 2015 case: 'Glossip v. Gross'. In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS ruled that the use of a specific chemical in lethal injections does not violate the Eighth Amendment. Justice Breyer's dissent states that he feels that imposition of the death penalty is unconstitutional for that as well as several other reasons. The end matter is made up of research leading to his dissent. Although short, the book lays out the many reasons why Justice Breyer feels the death penalty should be abolished.
