Coker v. Georgia

CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA

No. 75-5444 Argued: March 28, 1977 --- Decided: June 29, 1977

MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN, concurring in the judgment.

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 (1976) (dissenting opinion), I concur in the judgment of the Court setting aside the death sentence imposed under the Georgia rape statute.
