Question

What happened to Furman after Furman v. Georgia?

Answer 1

(1976) Georgia (1976). Furman was given release in April 1984. He received a 20-year prison sentence after admitting guilt to a 2004 burglary conviction in Bibb County Superior Court.

The death penalty is illegal under the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment when it is imposed arbitrarily and capriciously and results in discriminatory outcomes.

In Gregg v. Georgia in 1976, the death sentence was maintained as constitutional, but only if juries were given guidelines to follow when determining sentencing. The Furman v. Georgia decision ultimately led to the complete abolition of the death sentence in some jurisdictions. The Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty's imposition was unconstitutional because it went against the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
