The death penalty landscape has changed considerably since the
first edition of this book was published in 1998. For example, five
states that had the death penalty in 1998 - Connecticut, Illinois,
New Jersey, New Mexico and New York - no longer impose the
punishment. Some of the changes set out in this second edition
involve discussions of all of the significant cases decided by the
United States Supreme Court after 1998, including Roper v. Simmons,
543 U.S. 551 (2005); Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304 (2002);
Schriro v. Smith, 126 S.Ct. 7 (2005); Harbison v. Bell, 129 S.Ct.
1481 (2009); Holmes v. South Carolina, 126 S.Ct. 1727 (2006);
Kansas v. Marsh, 126 S.Ct. 2516 (2006); Ring v. Arizona, 536 U.S.
584 (2002); Sattazahn v. Pennsylvania, 537 U.S. 101 (2003). This
new edition includes 13 new chapters. Areas covered by some of the
new chapters include Capital felon's defense team; Habeas corpus,
coram nobis and section 1983 proceedings; the Innocence protection
act and post-conviction DNA testing; Challenging the death sentence
under racial justice acts; Inhabited American territories and
capital punishment; and the Costs of capital punishment.
