Overview

Robert Dunham provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments, trends, and case law in capital punishment. This CLE session addresses the seemingly contradictory developments in capital punishment nationwide, contrasting the historic decline in the nation's death row and record low public support for capital punishment in 2025 with the efforts of the new federal administration in 2026 to expand the use of the death penalty and facilitate executions. It will also discuss notable U.S. and Pennsylvania Supreme Court capital case decisions since the last Criminal Law Symposium, review the status of pending death penalty legislation in Pennsylvania, and look at new research on public safety and the death penalty. 

Recorded in June 2026.
