Following the 1972 Supreme Court decision on capital punishment, the Georgia legislature enacted a death penalty statute that attempts to avoid constitutional objections by establishing discretionary death sentencing for 361 rape cases in Georgia, comparing legal and nonlegal variables. Results indicate that blacks convicted of raping whites were disproportionately sentenced to death.
1972年最高法院对死刑做出裁决后，佐治亚州立法机构颁布了一项死刑法规，试图通过为佐治亚州的361起强奸案确立自由裁量死刑判决、比较法律和非法律变量来避免宪法上的异议。结果表明，被判定强奸白人的黑人被判处死刑的比例过高。
