Death Penalty Case Divides Trump Supreme Court Justices – By Lauren Giella (Newsweek) / Feb 22, 2023
A death penalty case from Arizona has divided Trump-appointed Justices on the Supreme Court of the United States.
The court ruled that a man on death row in Arizona should be resentenced because his due process rights were violated when the jury in his initial case was not totally informed about his sentencing options.
In a truly life or death case, the Supreme Court broke with its political divides to deliver its decision in Cruz v. Arizona.
In the third and final opinion of the day, the Supreme Court rules 5-4 in favor of John Cruz, a man on death row in Arizona who argued that his due-process rights were violated when he was not permitted at trial to inform the jury that a life sentence would be without parole.
