The author's intent is "to explain why statistical studies concerning race bias in capital selection have limitations as proof but also strong suggestive power that some death sentences amount to 'cruel and unusual punishments'" (p. 1). Sections of this paper include: the deserts limitation in the Eighth Amendment -- the government can only impose a death sentence on the person who deserves it; the capital selection process and the deserts limitation; the statistical studies of racial influences in the selection process; the Eighth Amendment significance of the studies; and the influence of these studies on the Supreme Court.
