Lynch v. Arizona
Holding: When the state has put a capital defendant’s future dangerousness at issue and acknowledged that the only possible sentence besides death is life imprisonment without parole, the defendant has a right to inform the jury of that fact, and the Arizona Supreme Court erred in holding to the contrary.
Judgment: Reversed and remanded in a per curiam opinion on May 31, 2016. Justice Thomas wrote a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Alito joined.
