    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2005 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus KANSAS v. MARSH CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF KANSAS No. 04–1170. Argued December 7, 2005—Reargued April 25, 2006— Decided June 26, 2006 Finding three aggravating circumstances that were not outweighed by mitigating circumstances, a Kansas jury convicted respondent Marsh of, inter alia, capital murder and sentenced him to death. Marsh claimed on direct appeal that Kan. Stat. Ann. §21–4624(e) establishes an unconstitutional presumption in favor of death by directing impo- sition of the death penalty when aggravating and mitigating circum- stances are in equipoise. Agreeing, the Kansas Supreme Court con- cluded that §21–4624(e)’s weighing equation violated the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments and remanded for a new trial. Held: 1. This Court has jurisdiction to review the Kansas Supreme Court’s judgment under 28 U. S. C. §1257. That provision authorizes review of a State’s final judgment when a state statute’s validity is questioned on federal constitutional grounds, and it permits review even when the state-court proceedings are not complete where the federal claim has been finally decided and later review of the federal issue cannot be had, whatever the case’s outcome, Cox Broadcasting Corp.

Acknowledgements This dissertation was built on the support of many shoulders. First and foremost, I am indebted to members of my committee who have gone above and beyond in helping me bring this dissertation from its inception to its completion. I am especially grateful to my amazing chair, Dustin Harp, whom I owe much of my success too. Dustin has been the beacon of grace, intellect and strength for me throughout this entire process. Her unwavering support and relentless encouragement was invaluable to my perseverance. Because she believed in me, I started to believe in myself. It is especially difficult for me to put into words my gratitude for Dustin because the depth of appreciation I have for her seems trivialized with words. At the very least, I can only hope she knows how very honored I am to have had her as my chair, and how fortunate I am to have been under her guidance.
