Authors

Ryan J. Miller

Abstract

The United States Supreme Court held that the jury's consideration of two invalid special circumstances in the weighing process did not produce constitutional error because all of the facts and circumstances admissible to establish the two invalid eligibility factors were properly provided under the valid special circumstances.
