has abstract	Simmons v. South Carolina, 512 U.S. 154 (1994), is a United States Supreme Court case holding that, where a capital defendant's future dangerousness is at issue, and the only alternative sentence available is life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, the sentencing jury must be informed that the defendant is ineligible for parole. After being found guilty of murder, Jonathan Dale Simmons faced either execution or life in prison without parole. The State asked the jury to sentence Mr. Simmons to death, in part because he posed a future danger to society. Although Mr. Simmons repeatedly requested permission to instruct the jury that he would never be released from prison, these requests were denied by the trial court. Denying Mr. Simmons his requested instruction violated his due process rights, the Supreme Court held, and presented to the jury a "false choice between sentencing petitioner to death and sentencing him to a limited period of incarceration." Although Simmons was a plurality opinion, the Supreme Court has repeatedly reaffirmed its holding. (en)
