In Gregg v. Georgia (1976), the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the death penalty and approved procedures that allowed for the separation of the determination of guilt from the determination of the sentence, which was a significant aspect of the decision. This case marked a pivotal moment in the Court's death penalty jurisprudence, allowing for a bifurcated process where the trial phase and the sentencing phase are separate.
