The Supreme Court set aside an Arizona inmate’s death sentence, finding state courts erred
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court set aside an Arizona inmate’s death sentence Wednesday, finding by 5-4 that state courts violated his constitutional rights by denying him and his lawyers the chance to inform jurors that he would receive life imprisonment without parole were they to vote against his execution.
For nearly three decades, Supreme Court precedent has required trial courts to afford capital defendants the opportunity to tell jurors when a life sentence included no chance of parole. But the Arizona Supreme Court, citing procedural reasons, said John Montenegro Cruz wasn’t entitled to make those points and denied appeals of his death sentence.
