Kenneth Eugene Smith v. Alabama
Does executing a condemned person contrary to a capital sentencing jury's determination that he should be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole violate the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution given that no State or the Federal Government permits the practice any longer?
