Furman was a poorly decided disaster that, because courts can't backtrack, led to the weird Gregg regime. This is simply not a matter for the judiciary to decide; by trying in Furman, SCOTUS bequeathed to us a legal disaster zone that jurisprudence has been working around ever since. In any event, Furman jurisprudence makes no reference to guilt or innocence. Abolishing the death penalty is the domain of the people through the legislature. Get a bill passed.
