SCOTUS and the Death Penalty

Slate has a really interesting article called Death math which describes some of the Supreme Courts questions during Kansas v. Marsh. In Kansas cases, juries are asked to weigh aggravating factors vs mitigating factors in coming up with a death sentence. In a tie you die and that was at question. The Justices apparently have some strong opinions about this. It's a good read.
