In sentencing petitioners, the trial court did not find that they had killed, attempted to kill, or intended to kill anyone. One reason the Court offers for its conclusion that death is proportionate punishment for persons falling within its new category is that limiting the death penalty to those who intend to kill "is a highly unsatisfactory means of definitively distinguishing the most culpable and dangerous of murderers." The petitioners' own personal involvement in the crimes was not minor, but rather, as specifically found by the trial court, "substantial." 2C:11-3a(a), (c) (West Supp.1986). 2726, 2780, 33 L.Ed.2d 346 (1972) (concurring opinion).

We will not attempt to precisely delineate the particular types of conduct and states of mind warranting imposition of the death penalty here. The cases since Enmund in which the Arizona Supreme Court has rejected the defendant's Enmund challenge and affirmed the death sentence are: State v. Correll, 148 Ariz. 468, 478, 715 P.2d 721, 731 (1986) (defendant intended to kill victims and "verbally encouraged" codefendant to proceed with killing); State v. Martinez-Villareal, 145 Ariz. 441, 702 P.2d 670 (defendant actively took part in the murder and intended to kill), cert. App. The Court's objective evidence that the statutes of roughly 20 States appear to authorize the death penalty for defendants in the Court's new category is therefore an inadequate substitute for a proper proportionality analysis, and is not persuasive evidence that the punishment that was unconstitutional for Enmund is constitutional for the Tisons. Ariz.Rev.Stat.Ann. Review of those executed since 1982 reveals that each person executed was found to have committed a killing and/or to have intended to kill. On rehearing, the Arizona Supreme Court did make a finding that petitioners could have anticipated that lethal force would be used during the breakout or subsequent flight. Greenawalt and Ricky and Raymond Tison were taken into custody. To illustrate that intention cannot be dispositive, the Court offers as examples "the person who tortures another not caring whether the victim lives or dies, or the robber who shoots someone in the course of the robbery, utterly indifferent to the fact that the desire to rob may have the unintended consequence of killing the victim as well as taking the victim's property." Packer, Making the Punishment Fit the Crime, 77 Harv.L.Rev. . 15A-2000(f)(4) (1983). Six innocent people died at the hands of the Tison Gang. Such guidance is essential in determining the constitutional limits on the State's power to punish. Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. At the breakout scene itself, petitioner played a crucial role by, among other things, holding a gun on prison guards. 99-19-101(7) (Supp.1986); Nev.Rev.Stat. 13, 2303(b), (c) (Supp.1986) (only murderers of correctional officers subject to death penalty); Wash. Rev.Code 9A.32.030, 10.95.020 (1985) (death penalty reserved for those who commit premeditated killing with at least one aggravating circumstance). Furthermore, the court found as an aggravating factor against petitioners the "heinous, cruel and depraved manner" in which Gary Tison and Randy Greenawalt carried out the murders. 173-174, 185, 191. Tison v. Arizona Facts Gary Tison was an inmate serving a sentence of life imprisonment for killing a guard during an attempted. As he received his reprieve from death row, Ricky Tison told the court that he had been manipulated by his father. ( Tison v. Arizona, supra, 481 U.S. at p. 139, 107 S.Ct. 689, 699, 88 L.Ed.2d 704 (1986) ("Considerations of federalism and comity counsel respect for the ability of state courts to carry out their role as the primary protectors of the rights of criminal defendants").

They searched for days with temperatures nearing 120 degrees. He, too, participated fully in the kidnaping and robbery and watched the killing after which he chose to aid those whom he had placed in the position to kill rather than their victims. Enmund v.

Tisons terrorized state 25 years ago Citizen file photos For example, the Court quotes Professor Fletcher's observation that "the Model Penal Code treats reckless killing . Thus, contrary to the Court's implication that its view is consonant with that of "the majority of American jurisdictions," ibid., the Court's view is itself distinctly the minority position.13, Second, it is critical to examine not simply those jurisdictions that authorize the death penalty in a given circumstance, but those that actually impose it. The stories diverge a bit, but ultimately the Tison boys watch their father and the other convict But the decision to execute these petitioners, like the state courts' decisions in Moore, and like other decisions to kill, appears responsive less to reason than to other, more visceral, demands. Unlike Enmund, however, the Tisons will be the first individuals in over 30 years to be executed for such behavior. When these jurisdictions are included, and are considered with those jurisdictions that require a finding of intent to kill in order to impose the death sentence for felony murder, one discovers that approximately three-fifths of American jurisdictions do not authorize the death penalty for a nontriggerman absent a finding that he intended to kill. In addition, the Court's statement that Raymond did not act to assist the victims "after" the shooting, and its statement that Ricky "watched the killing after which he chose to aid those whom he had placed in the position to kill rather than their victims," ante, at 152, takes license with the facts found by the Arizona Supreme Court. The Code offers as examples shooting into a crowd or an automobile, or shooting a person in the course of playing Russian roulette.

By the time their flight ended In the end, Greenawalt's sentence was not overturned, and after 18 years of appeals Greenawalt was executed by lethal injection on January 23, 1997. 13-1105(A)(2), (B) (Supp.1986). Idaho Code 19-2515(g) (Supp.1986); Okla.Stat., Tit. While in Enmund the Court focused on a breakdown of these statistics into those physically present at the scene and those not, that information is not relevant here. 793 (1910) (quoting O'Neil v. Vermont, 144 U.S. 323, 339-340, 12 S.Ct. Raymond and Ricky Tison and Randy Greenawalt were captured and tried jointly for the crimes associated with the prison break itself and the shootout at the roadblock; each was convicted and sentenced. In evaluating the trial court's findings of aggravating and mitigating factors, the Arizona Supreme Court found the first aggravating factorcreation of grave risk to othersnot supported by the evidence. Ricky and Raymond Tison were tried, convicted and sentenced to death. A sophisticated utilitarian theory of deterrence might propose some limiting principles, e.g., "no punishment must cause more misery than the offense unchecked." . One such principle is that the States may not impose punishment that is disproportionate to the severity of the offense or to the individual's own conduct and culpability.

Creation of a new category of culpability is not enough to distinguish this case from Enmund. The others were armed and lying in wait by the side of the road. 543 (1923). Finally, the Court noted that in no Commonwealth or European country could Enmund have been executed, since all have either abolished or never employed a felony-murder doctrine. In Enmund, unlike in the present case, the defendant did not actively participate in the events leading to death (by, for example, as in the present case, helping abduct the victims) and was not present at the murder site." " Weems v. United States, 217 U.S. 349, 371, 30 S.Ct. . Vermont fell into none of these categories. Petitioner's participation up to the moment of the firing of the fatal shots was substantially the same as that of Gary Tison and Greenawalt.

The trial court found that the murders their father later committed were senseless and unnecessary to the felony of stealing a car in which the sons participated; and just prior to the shootings the sons were retrieving a water jug for the family. Id., at 41, 111. Thus, the Court in Enmund examined the relevant statistics on the imposition of the death penalty for accomplices in a felony murder. This Court denied the Tisons' petition for certiorari. . Petitioners' presence at the scene of the murders, and their participation in flagging down the vehicle, and robbing and guarding the family, indicate nothing whatsoever about their subjective appreciation that their father and his friend would suddenly decide to kill the family. When the Arizona Supreme Court first reviewed this case on appeal, it stated that petitioners' degree of mens rea was of little significance to the case. After leaving the prison, the men abandoned the Ford automobile and proceeded on to an isolated house in a white Lincoln automobile that the brothers had parked at a hospital near the prison. . "Enmund did not kill or intend to kill and thus his culpability is plainly different from that of the robbers who killed; yet the State treated them alike and attributed to Enmund the culpability of those who killed the Kerseys. 77, 84, 656 S.W.2d 684, 687 (1983) (armed, forced entry, nighttime robbery of private dwelling known to be occupied plus evidence that killing contemplated), cert.

The Lyons and Theresa Tyson were then escorted to the Lincoln and again ordered to stand in its headlights. "Ricky and Raymond Tison, brothers, conspired with several other family members to help their father, Gary, escape from prison.

App. Had it done so, it would have discovered that, even including the 65 executions since Enmund, "[t]he fact remains that we are not aware of a single person convicted of felony murder over the past quarter century who did not kill or attempt to kill, and did not intend the death of the victim, who has been executed. Ricky and Raymond Tison are similarly situated with Earl Enmund in every respect that mattered to the decision in Enmund. In our view, the question presented does not fairly encompass an attack on Arizona's construction of its aggravating factors and we express no view on that subject. But for Ricky and Raymond being that they did not pull the trigger but participated in the felony that led to the murder, were tried under the Felony-Murder law, It was under this law they were found guilty and sentenced to death. The persistence of doctrines (such as felony murder) that allow excessive discretion in apportioning criminal culpability and of decisions (such as today's) that do not even attempt "precisely [to] delineate the particular types of conduct and states of mind warranting imposition of the death penalty," ante, at 158, demonstrates that this Court has still not articulated rules that will ensure that capital sentencing decisions conform to the substantive principles of the Eighth Amendment. 1759, 64 L.Ed.2d 398 (1980). Moreover, in each of these cases the court at least suggested that the defendants intended to kill, attempted to kill, or participated in the actual killing.
