←Hildwin v. Florida/Opinion of the Court

Hildwin v. Florida by William J. Brennan, Jr. Dissenting Opinion

Justice BRENNAN, dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 227, 96 S.Ct. 2909, 2950, 49 L.Ed.2d 859 (1976) (BRENNAN, J., dissenting), I would vacate the death sentence in this case.
