Justice Brennan, dissenting. 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), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Leatherwood v. Mississippi. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
