Since 1976, Texas executed 108 people despite a clear constitutional violation in thier cases.
that Andrus’ attorney had failed to present a mountain of mitigating evidence that could’ve saved his life. The court ruled that his counsel’s representation fell below the constitutional minimum and sent the case back to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals with instructions to consider whether the mitigating evidence could have made a difference in the mind of at least one juror.
Along with my Cornell Law School colleagues John Blume and Sheri Johnson, I examined the judicial decisions for every person executed in the United States since the Supreme Court restarted the death penalty in 1976. That’s over 1,500 people. We were looking for the people who were “dead right,” meaning they were executed despite claims in their case that would render their execution unconstitutional today.What we found shocked us.
