Oregon v. Guzek 546 U.S. 517 (2006) was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States which ruled that the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution does not grant criminal defendants facing the death penalty the right to introduce new evidence of their innocence during sentencing that was not introduced during trial. Accordingly states could constitutionally exclude such evidence from the sentencing phase of a capital trial.
