The death penalty was reinstated by the Supreme Court decision in Gregg v. Georgia in 1976, which allowed states to use the death penalty if certain guidelines were followed. Furman v. Georgia (1972) actually declared the death penalty unconstitutional as it was being applied at the time, and Miranda v. Arizona (1966) dealt with the rights of suspects during police interrogations. People v. LaValle is a New York State court case and not relevant to the reinstatement of the death penalty at the federal level.
