Gardner v. Florida

Mr. Justice Blackmun,

concurring in the judgment.

Given the judgments of the Court in Woodson v. North Carolina, 428 U. S. 280 (1976), and in Roberts v. Louisiana, 428 U. S. 325 (1976),* each attained by a plurality opinion of Justices Stewart, Powell, and Stevens, in combination with respective concurrences in the judgment by Justices Brennan and Marshall, I concur in the judgment the Court reaches in the present case.

See also Proffitt v. Florida, 428 U. S. 242 (1976); Jurek v. Texas, 428 U. S. 262 (1976); and Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153 (1976).
