In its second major death penalty decision in less than a week, the Supreme Court, by a 7-2 vote, has overturned nearly 150 death sentences where a judge instead of jury sentences the accused to death. The ruling indicates that a judge passing a death sentence instead of a jury violates the spirit of the 6th amendment right to a trial by their peers.

More excitingly, yet another blow has been dealt to the crime against democracy that is the death penalty.
