On the Death Penalty

In the case of Glossip v. Gross, which involved an unsuccessful challenge to Oklahoma’s use of a lethal-injection drug because it might cause severe pain, Justice Stephen G. Breyer argued, in his dissent, that the time has come for the Supreme Court to revisit the constitutionality of the death penalty.

John D. Bessler, professor of law at the University of Baltimore School of Law, interprets Breyer’s dissent and gives context to how Breyer’s arguments might impact the constitutionality of the death penalty in the future.
