MARSHALL, J., Concurring Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

428 U.S. 280

Woodson v. North Carolina

CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NORTH CAROLINA

MR JUSTICE MARSHALL, concurring in the judgment.

For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Gregg v. Georgia, ante, p. 231, I am of the view that the death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment forbidden by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. I therefore concur in the Court's judgment.
