Furman v. Georgia

A judicial campaign to end the death penalty, led by the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund, culminated with this 1972 Supreme Court case. Written for young adults but appealing to readers of all ages, this book discusses Furman’s murder trial, the Fund’s legal strategy, the successful appeal before the Supreme Court, the differing opinions of the nine justices, and the judgments following Furman that reinstated the death penalty.
