This document is page 162 of a manuscript, bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. The text appears to be written by Alan Dershowitz (identified by the claim of being the clerk who drafted the 'Rudolph' opinion for Justice Goldberg). It discusses the legal history of the death penalty for rape, specifically the backlash from the Georgia Supreme Court against federal intervention, scholarly criticism from Herbert Packer, and the subsequent formation of a litigation project by the ACLU and NAACP.
