 COURTTV.COM - TOP NEWS - Green River case revives questions about Washington's death penalty
In Washington, proportionality requires that, during an automatic appeal, the state Supreme Court consider whether execution is "excessive or disproportionate" with respect to penalties in similar cases.
Washington's death penalty statute, adopted in 1981, was closely modeled on Georgia's law, which has a proportionality provision. Although the U.S. Supreme Court urged, but did not require, states to include proportionality in their death penalty laws, most states with capital punishment have some sort of proportionality review.
The Green River case has already set cost records in King County, with a $12 million price tag over the last two years alone. A death penalty trial for Ridgway would likely be one of the longest and most complex in U.S. history.
