Judicial override
In United States jurisprudence, a judicial override is when a judge overrules a jury's sentencing determination. Only three U.S. states allow judicial overrides: Alabama, Delaware, and Florida.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judge Override | Equal Justice Initiative )〕 Delaware and Florida have cases in which the jury has imposed a death sentence and the judge has changed the ruling to life in prison. Alabama is unique in allowing judges to override a jury sentence of life in prison with capital punishment.〔
In 1995, the United States Supreme Court held, in an 8–1 decision, that the Eighth Amendment "does not require the State to define the weight the sentencing judge must give to an advisory jury verdict."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Justice Sotomayor: Alabama Judges' Death Penalty Sentencing Is Tainted By Election Politics | ThinkProgress )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Supreme Court of the United States )〕 The Court had been asked to impose Florida's "great weight" standard on Alabama, but Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said that doing so would amount to micromanagement. The Supreme Court declined to take up a case reviewing Alabama's use of judicial overrides in 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Justices May Review Capital Cases in Which Judges Overrode Juries )〕 and again in 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear death row inmates' appeals in Auburn and Franklin County cases | AL.com )〕 Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor dissented the 2013 decision to decline to rehear the issue. Justice Sotomayor suggested that the elected nature of Alabama's judges is the underlying issue, with a study showing that death sentences are imposed more in election years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elected judges harder on death penalty appeals, Reuters finds )
