Abstract

The authors analyze the racially discriminatory administration of Maryland's death penalty laws, argue that state courts - including Maryland's - should look to their own bills of rights in remedying such discrimination, and offer a remedial theory grounded in Maryland's experience and Declaration of Rights' provisions.

Keywords: death penalty, racial discrimination
