Description
The state of Ohio conceded in open court, and we find, that the death penalty in this cause must be vacated and the sentence reduced to life imprisonment because veniremen were improperly excused for cause when they expressed general opposition to capital punishment but did not unambiguously state that they would automatically vote against the death penalty irrespective of what the evidence might reveal. See Witherspoon v. Illinois (1968), 391 U.S. 510; State v. Watson (1971),28 Ohio St.2d 15sState v. Anderson (1972), 30 Ohio St.2d 66. Moreover, the United States Supreme Court in Furman v. Georgia (decided June 29, 1972), 33 L.Ed.2d 346, has held that the carrying out of the death penalty imposed at the discretion of the trier of the facts constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment" in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
