CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NORTH CAROLINA

No. 75-5491 Argued: March 31, 1976 --- Decided: July 2, 1976

MR JUSTICE MARSHALL, concurring in the judgment.

For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Gregg v. Georgia, ante, p. 231, I am of the view that the death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment forbidden by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. I therefore concur in the Court's judgment.
