South Carolina v. Gathers : ウィキペディア英語版 | South Carolina v. Gathers
''South Carolina v. Gathers'', 490 U.S. 805 (1989) was a United States Supreme Court which held that testimony in the form of a victim impact statement is only admissible during the sentencing phase of a trial if it directly relates to the 'circumstances of the crime'. This case was later overruled by the Supreme Court decision in ''Payne v. Tennessee'' 501 U.S. 808 (1991).〔Judgment is re-worded from the decision, ''q.v.'', (Supreme.Justia.com ). Retrieved October 31, 2012.〕 ==Reasoning== The Court held that their opinion in ''Booth v. Maryland'' left open the possibility that the kind of information contained in victim impact statements could be admissible if it "relate() directly to the circumstances of the crime." Though South Carolina asserted that such is the case here, the Brennan-led majority disagreed, holding the content of the cards at issue to be irrelevant to the "circumstances of the crime." Four Justices dissented: Sandra Day O'Connor, William Rehnquist, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia.
