 The goal of the CJP is to determine whether jurors' sentencing decisions conform to the constitution and do not reflect the arbitrary decisions the United States Supreme Court found when it ruled the death penalty unconstitutional in "Furman v. Georgia".That 1972 Supreme Court decision eliminated the death penalty which was not reinstated until "Gregg v. Georgia" in 1976.In 1987, the Supreme Court ruled in "McCleskey v. Kemp" that statistics showed that blacks in Georgia were more likely to be sentenced to death than whites, but concluded that the evidence of specific racial discrimination in McCleskey's case was lacking so McCleskey's death sentence was not unconstitutional.
