Woods v. Dunn

(1) Whether the Eighth Amendment applies only to imposition of a death sentence, as the Eleventh Circuit held, or whether a petitioner may challenge, as arbitrary and capricious, how a death sentence is carried out; (2) Whether, if the Eighth Amendment does apply to the manner in which a death sentence is carried out, was it violated here where the State targeted Mr. Woods for execution based on his refusal to participate in the execution process; (3) Whether the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses allow the State to suppress information vital to making a life-altering decision and then discriminate among individuals based on such suppressed information.
