Deck v. Missouri 544 U.S. 622 (2005) was a United States Supreme Court case that dealt with the constitutionality of shackling a prisoner during the sentencing phase of a trial. In a 7–2 opinion delivered by Justice Breyer the court held that is against due process a right prescribed by the 5th and 14th Amendments to shackle a defendant in the sentencing portion of a trial unless the shackling relates to a specific defendant and certain state interests.
