Ring v. Arizona : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ring v. Arizona
''Ring v. Arizona'', , was a case in which the United States Supreme Court applied the rule of ''Apprendi v. New Jersey'', , to capital sentencing schemes, holding that the Sixth Amendment requires a jury to find the aggravating factors necessary for imposing the death penalty. ''Ring'' overruled a portion of ''Walton v. Arizona'', , that had previously rejected this contention. It also essentially overruled the provisions of ''Spaziano v. Florida'' which allowed a judge to impose a death sentence, overriding a jury's recommendation of life imprisonment. ==Facts of the case== On November 28, 1994, an armored car parked in front of Arrowhead Mall in Glendale, Arizona, was robbed. The driver was shot in the head as he exited the van to smoke. One of the robbers then drove the van to a church in nearby Sun City, where they made off with $562,000 in cash and $271,000 in personal checks. An informant tipped the police off to Timothy Ring and two of his friends, who had recently made expensive purchases such as a new truck. Police eventually discovered that Ring was the ringleader of the operation. Ring was later charged with capital first-degree murder under Arizona law. The jury eventually convicted Ring of first-degree murder under a felony murder theory. But Ring could not be sentenced to death without further findings, and Arizona law provided that the judge alone would make these findings. After a sentencing hearing, at which Ring's accomplices testified, the judge found that two aggravating factors applied: that Ring had committed the murder in expectation of pecuniary gain and that he had committed the murder in an especially heinous, cruel, or depraved manner. Although he found that Ring had a "minimal" criminal record, the judge concluded that this did not outweigh the aggravating factors, and sentenced Ring to death.
