Assignment:

Watch the short video on Furman v. Georgia (Links to an external site.)

What did the Supreme Court decide in Furman v. Georgia? How was the death penalty soon reinstated? Do a bit of independent research on the subject and then discuss your views on the fairness of the application of the death penalty in the United States? Can we justify the fact that the death penalty is more likely to be applied when the victim is white? For example, are white homicide victims killed in ways more likely to warrant the death penalty?
