The Supreme Court did not settle the Powell v. Alabama case because it considered that the defendants had not received a fair trial, in accordance with the rule of due process, since the defendants had not had a defense attorney until moments before presenting the evidence. In this way, their right of defense was violated and thus, although the factual evidence incriminated them, the trial was not carried out respecting the rights of the accused.

Under the Alabama statute, the punishment for rape is to be fixed by the jury, and, in its discretion, may be from ten years' imprisonment to death. The juries found defendants guilty and imposed the death penalty upon all. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Which Persian leader do you think made the biggest contribution
torisob [31]
Cyrus' conquest was relatively humane compared to empires preceding his, such as the Babylonians and Assyrians. He allowed many areas of his empire a great deal of autonomy, rather than centrally controlling things. This distributed leadership allowed Persia to cover a greater geographical area than previous empires in that era and still be fairly stable, since most of its subjects were content to remain under Persian rule. Persian law was more codified and less arbitrary than previous empires; the king's seal declared approval of law which could only be reversed by further approved decrees -- not quite rule of law but going in that direction.
