Shafer v. South Carolina 532 U.S. 36 (2001) was a United States Supreme Court case decided in 2001. The case concerned the ability of a defendant to tell the jury that absent a penalty of death a penalty of life imprisonment would not permit early release of a prisoner on parole. While the question had been decided in the case of Simmons v. South Carolina this case dealt with the extent of the ruling.
