Thus, in Enmund's case, "the focus [had to] be on his culpability, not on that of those who committed the robbery and shot the victims, for we insist on 'individualized consideration as a constitutional requirement in imposing the death sentence.' This case thus illustrates the enduring truth of Justice Harlan's observation that the tasks of identifying "those characteristics of criminal homicides and their perpetrators which call for the death penalty, and [of] express[ing] these characteristics in language which can be fairly understood and applied by the sentencing authority appear to be . On appeal, their sentences were reduced to life in prison.

Ricky stated that they had returned with the water, but were still some distance ("farther than this room") from the Lincoln when the shootings started, id., at 40-41, 111, and that the brothers then turned away from the scene and went back to the Mazda, id., at 113.

Like Enmund, the Tisons have been sentenced to death for the intentional acts of others which the Tisons did not expect, which were not essential to the felony, and over which they had no control. A scant four years later, however, the Court validated Georgia's new machinery, and in 1977 executions resumed. Id., at 801, 102 S.Ct., at 3378. INTERACTIVE RADAR: Tracking winter storm in Arizona.

In light of this evidence, it is not surprising that the Arizona Supreme Court rested its judgment on the narrow ground that petitioners could have anticipated that lethal force might be used during the escape, or that the state probation officerwho reviewed at length all the facts concerning the sons' mental statesdid not recommend that the death sentence be imposed. First, the Court excludes from its survey those jurisdictions that have abolished the death penalty and those that have authorized it only in circumstances different from those presented here. 1766, pp. Ricky Tison's behavior differs in slight details only. We should be reluctant to conclude too much from the Court's survey of state decisions, because most jurisdictions would not approve the death penalty in the circumstances here, see n. 13, infra, and the Court neglects decisions applying the law of those States. They both were sentenced to life in 1992. . 108352 (Super.Ct. Each of petitioners' actions was perfectly consistent with, and indeed necessary to, the felony of stealing a car in order to continue the flight from prison. Thirteen States and the District of Columbia have abolished the death penalty. The Tisons got into the Mazda and drove away, continuing their flight. The discrepancy between those aspects of the record on which the Court has chosen to focus and those aspects it has chosen to ignore underscores the point that a reliable and individualized Enmund determination can be made only by the trial court following an evidentiary hearing. On direct appeal, the Arizona Supreme Court affirmed. Of 739 death row inmates, only 41 did not participate in the fatal assault. We accept this as true.

Thus the Court's findings about petitioners' mental states regarding the murders are based solely on inferences from petitioners' participation in the underlying felonies. , who vowed never to be taken alive, escaped. In addition, the Court's statement that Raymond did not act to assist the victims "after" the shooting, and its statement that Ricky "watched the killing after which he chose to aid those whom he had placed in the position to kill rather than their victims," ante, at 152, takes license with the facts found by the Arizona Supreme Court. ); see also Eddings v. Oklahoma, 455 U.S. 104, 102 S.Ct. Enmund was, therefore, sentenced under a distinct minority regime, a regime that permitted the imposition of the death penalty for felony murder simpliciter.

In four of the five cases cited as evidence of an "apparent consensus" that intent to kill is not a prerequisite for imposing the death penalty, the court did not specifically find an absence of any act or intent to kill.

The accomplice, although accountable for the death by his participation in the attempt [sic] armed robbery, did not do the actual killing." To do less is simply to socialize vigilantism.

The Model Penal Code advocates replacing the felony-murder rule with a rule that allows a conviction for murder only when the killer acted with intent, purpose, or "recklessness under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life." But the decision to execute these petitioners, like the state courts' decisions in Moore, and like other decisions to kill, appears responsive less to reason than to other, more visceral, demands. He shot Thomas at close range, without provocation and as Thomas stood in a helpless position. 3001, 3011, 77 L.Ed.2d 637 (1983), the Court summarized the essence of the inquiry: "In sum, a court's proportionality analysis under the Eighth Amendment should be guided by objective criteria, including (i) the gravity of the offense and the harshness of the penalty; (ii) the sentences imposed on other criminals in the same jurisdiction; and (iii) the sentences imposed for commission of the same crime in other jurisdictions." Ann. At a minimum, however, it can be said that all these jurisdictions, as well as six States which Enmund classified along with Florida as permitting capital punishment for felony murder simpliciter,8 and the three States which simply require some additional aggravation before imposing the death penalty upon a felony murderer,9 specifically authorize the death penalty in a felony-murder case where, though the defendant's mental state fell short of intent to kill, the defendant was a major actor in a felony in which he knew death was highly likely to occur. Id., at 789, 102 S.Ct., at 3372. Arbitrariness continues so to infect both the procedure and substance of capital sentencing that any decision to impose the death penalty remains cruel and unusual. Enmund v. State, 399 So.2d 1362, 1369 (1981). Woodson v. North Carolina, 428 U.S. 280, 304, 96 S.Ct. 398, 83 L.Ed.2d 332 (1984); State v.

One reason the Court offers for its conclusion that death is proportionate punishment for persons falling within its new category is that limiting the death penalty to those who intend to kill "is a highly unsatisfactory means of definitively distinguishing the most culpable and dangerous of murderers." (Raymond) Tison, 129 Ariz. 546, 633 P.2d 355 (1981). The Tison Prison Break Arizona Gary, Donald, Ricky, and Ray Tison; Randy Greenawalt 1978 On Sunday, July 30, 1978, brothers Ray, Ricky, and Donny Tison (ages 18, 19, and 20) helped their father, Gary, and fellow inmate Randy Greenawalt escape from Arizona State Prison in Florence, Arizona.

The prophets warned Israel that theirs was "a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate [Him]." The Court does not attempt to conduct a proportionality review of the kind performed in past cases raising a proportionality question, e.g., Solem v. Helm, 463 U.S. 277, 103 S.Ct. Ariz.Rev.Stat.Ann. The issue raised by this case is whether the Eighth Amendment prohibits the death penalty in the intermediate case of the defendant whose participation is major and whose mental state is one of reckless indifference to the value of human life. Ante, at 145 (citation omitted). In Enmund v. Florida, the Court recognized again the importance of mental state, explicitly permitting the death penalty in at least those cases where the felony murderer intended to kill and forbidding it in the case of a minor actor not shown to have had any culpable mental state. The judge found three statutory aggravating factors: (1) the Tisons had created a grave risk of death to others (not the victims); (2) the murders had been committed for pecuniary gain; The judge found no statutory mitigating factor. Gary Tison escaped into the desert where he subsequently died of exposure. This statement of Raymond's is illustrative: "Well, I just think you should know when we first came into this we had an agreement with my dad that nobody would get hurt because we [the brothers] wanted no one hurt.

At one pole was Enmund himself: the minor actor in an armed robbery, not on the scene, who neither intended to kill nor was found to have had any culpable mental state. That they did not specifically intend that the Lyonses and Theresa Tyson die, that they did not plot in advance that these homicides would take place, or that they did not actually pull the triggers on the guns which inflicted the fatal wounds is of little significance."

To be faithful to this belief, which is "universal and persistent in mature systems of law," ibid., the criminal law must ensure that the punishment an individual receives conforms to the choices that individual has made.10 Differential punishment of reckless and intentional actions is therefore essential if we are to retain "the relation between criminal liability and moral culpability" on which criminal justice depends. (Emphasis added.). Second, even assuming petitioners may be so categorized, objective evidence and this Court's Eighth Amendment jurisprudence demonstrate that the death penalty is disproportionate punishment for this category of defendants. Six innocent people died at the hands of the Tison Gang. Oct. 18, 1984.

[and] on his culpability." 1071, 1076 (1964).18 Retribution, which has as its core logic the crude proportionality of "an eye for an eye," has been regarded as a constitutionally valid basis for punishment only when the punishment is consistent with an "individualized consideration" of the defendant's culpability, Lockett v. Ohio, 438 U.S., at 605, 98 S.Ct., at 2965, and when "the administration of criminal justice" works to "channe[l]" society's "instinct for retribution."

If they'd executed him for his crime the first time, those people might still be alive today.".

Our Constitution demands that the sentencing decision itself, and not merely the procedures that produce it, respond to the reasonable goals of punishment. 79, 672 P.2d 862 (1983), construed its capital murder statute to require a finding of intent to kill. PARA. The foreseeability standard that the court applied was erroneous, however, because "the possibility of bloodshed is inherent in the commission of any violent felony and this possibility is generally foreseeable and foreseen." The Court's second reason for abandoning the intent requirement is based on its survey of state statutes authorizing the death penalty for felony murder, and on a handful of state cases.12 On this basis, the Court concludes that "[o]nly a small minority of those jurisdictions imposing capital punishment for felony murder have rejected the possibility of a capital sentence absent an intent to kill, and we do not find this minority position constitutionally required." Many who intend to, and do, kill are not criminally liable at allthose who act in self-defense or with other justification or excuse.

In Furman v. Georgia, supra, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct.

The couple's niece survived long enough to crawl a quarter mile before succumbing to her injuries. 905, 911 (1939). On August 11, 1978, twelve days after their escape, the Tison gang was back in Arizona. As Professor Packer observed, under a theory of deterrence the state may justify such punishments as "boiling people in oil; a slow and painful death may be thought more of a deterrent to crime than a quick and painless one." 173-174, 185, 191. death."

I hope the hell they carry it out this time. .' The urge to employ the felony-murder doctrine against accomplices is undoubtedly strong when the killings stir public passion and the actual murderer is beyond human grasp. As for retribution, the Court again found that Enmund's lack of intent, together with the fact that he did not kill the victims, was decisive.
