As Professor Baldus confirmed, the system sorts out cases where the sentence of death is highly likely and highly unlikely, leaving a mid-range of cases where the imposition of the death penalty in any particular case is less predictable. 2, 123 (1866).

In analyzing an equal protection claim, a court must first determine the nature of the claim and the responsibilities of the state actors involved to determine what showing is required for the establishment of a prima facie case. in LAw AND THE IMAGE 32 (Costas Douzinas and Lynda Nead, eds., The University of Chicago Press 1999).

Despite such imperfections, constitutional guarantees are met when the mode for determining guilt or punishment has been surrounded with safeguards to make it as fair as possible.

The Court's position converts a rebuttable presumption into a virtually conclusive one. But the Court's fear is unfounded. Access to content on Oxford Academic is often provided through institutional subscriptions and purchases. Because petitioner's sentence was imposed under Georgia sentencing procedures that focus discretion "on the particularized nature of the crime and the particularized characteristics of the individual defendant," it may be presumed that his death sentence was not "wantonly and freakishly" imposed, and thus that the sentence is not disproportionate within any recognized meaning under the Eighth Amendment. 16.See Wayte v. United States, 470 U.S. 598, 607 (1986); United States v. Goodwin, 457 U.S. 368, 380, n. 11 (1982); Bordenkircher v. Hayes, 434 U.S. 357, 365 (1978). On the other hand, absent a showing that the Georgia capital punishment system operates in an arbitrary and capricious manner, McCleskey cannot prove a constitutional [p307] violation by demonstrating that other defendants who may be similarly situated did not receive the death penalty. His disproportionality claim "is of a different sort." 894-926, but is ignored by the Court. On the one [p281] hand, he cannot base a constitutional claim on an argument that his case differs from other cases in which defendants did receive the death penalty. 1613-1614, 1664.

[n19]. Having recognized the complexity of McCleskey's claim, however, the Court proceeds to ignore a significant element of that claim. Moreover, the legislative history of the Fourteenth Amendment reminds us that discriminatory enforcement of States' criminal laws was a matter of great concern for the drafters. As JUSTICE BRENNAN has demonstrated in his dissenting opinion, such a restructuring of the sentencing scheme is surely not too high a price to pay. The Court concludes that "legitimate" explanations outweigh McCleskey's claim that his death sentence reflected a constitutionally impermissible risk of racial discrimination. Ibid. In such cases, death is imposed in 34% of white-victim crimes and 14% of black-victim crimes, a difference of 139% in the rate of imposition of the death penalty. at 57; Tr. As we reiterate infra, the requirement of heightened rationality in the imposition of capital punishment does not "plac[e] totally unrealistic conditions on its use." We recognized that immunity from damages actions was necessary to prevent harassing litigation and to avoid the threat of civil litigation undermining the prosecutor's independence of judgment. In determining whether this risk is acceptable, our judgment must be shaped by the awareness that. With respect to the Court's criticism that McCleskey has not shown how Georgia could do a better job, ante at 315, n. 37, once it is established that the particular system of guided discretion chosen by a State is not achieving its intended purpose, the burden is on the State, not the defendant, to devise a more rational system if it wishes to continue to impose the death penalty. And only last Term, JUSTICE POWELL, writing for the Court, noted: Discrimination within the judicial system is most pernicious because it is. Furthermore, counsel would feel bound to tell McCleskey that defendants charged with killing white victims in Georgia are 4.3 times as likely to be sentenced to death as defendants charged with killing blacks. As we said in Rose v. Mitchell, 443 U.S. 545, 558-559 (1979): [W]e .

Singer v. United States, 380 U.S. 24, 35 (1965). The Court's refusal to require that the prosecutor provide an explanation for his actions, however, is completely inconsistent with this Court's longstanding precedents.

Whereas the analyses presented by Maxwell did not take into account a significant number of variables, and were based on a universe of 65 cases, the analyses presented by McCleskey's evidence take into account more than 400 variables and are based on data concerning all offenders arrested for homicide in Georgia from 1973 through 1978, a total of 2,484 cases.

No. Petitioner's claim, taken to its logical conclusion, throws into serious question the principles that underlie the entire criminal justice system. As Maitland said of the provision of the Magna Carta regulating the discretionary imposition of fines, "[v]ery likely there was no clause in Magna Carta more grateful to the mass of the people." A person commits murder "when he unlawfully and with malice aforethought, either express or implied, causes the death of another human being." He later recalled one case that was in the office when he first began, in which the office set aside the death penalty because of the possibility that race had been involved. 701 (1980).

What they say, for example, [is] that, on the average, the race of the victim, if it is white, increases on the average the probability . . Under this model, Baldus found that 14.4% of the black-victim mid-range cases received the death penalty, and 34.4% of the white-victim cases received the death penalty. It is true that every nuance of decision cannot be statistically captured, nor can any individual judgment be plumbed with absolute certainty. protected criminal justice laws and policies from being challenged on the basis of racially disparate impact.

Petitioner's arguments are best presented to the legislative bodies, not the courts. . In addition, frankness would compel the disclosure that it was more likely than not that the race of McCleskey's victim would determine whether he received a death sentence: 6 of every 11 defendants convicted of killing a white person would not have received the death penalty if their victims had been black, Supp. In Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972), the Court concluded that the death penalty was so irrationally imposed that any particular death sentence could be presumed excessive. 306-313. Yet surely the majority would acknowledge that, if striking evidence indicated that other minority groups, or women, or even persons with blond hair, were disproportionately sentenced to death, such a state of affairs would be repugnant to deeply rooted conceptions of fairness.
