To bring death penalty procedure more in line with contemporary understandings of the death penalty's theoretical and moral justification, the ghost of Herbert Wechsler must be exorcized from the constitutional law of capital sentencing. Abolition of the death penalty is likely the only sure way to root out the myriad sources of discrimination and arbitrariness that currently plague administration of the death penalty.
