DPIC Releases New Report as 35th Anniversary of Reinstatement of the Death Penalty Approaches

The Death Penalty Information Center has released a new report "Struck by Lightning: The Continuing Arbitrariness of the Death Penalty Thirty-Five Years After Its Reinstatement in 1976."

The report shows that despite the changes to sentencing schemes approved by the U.S. Supreme Court on July 2, 1976, race, geography, money and other factors continue to make the implementation of the death penalty arbitrary and unfair.
