SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME ?COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 16?656 Decided February 27, 2017
?The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
JUSTICE BREYER, dissenting from the denial of certiorari.
Marcus Dante Reed was sentenced to death in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, a county that in recent history has apparently sentenced more people to death per capita than any other county in the United States.? See Aviv, Revenge Killing: Race and the Death Penalty in a Louisiana Parish, The New Yorker, July 6 & 13, 2015, p. 34.? The arbitrary role that geography plays in the imposition of the death penalty, along with the other serious problems I have previously described, has led me to conclude that the Court should consider the basic question of the death penalty?s constitutionality. See Glossip v. Gross, 576 U. S. ___ (2015) (BREYER, J., dissenting).? For this reason, I would grant Reed?s petition for a writ of certiorari.
