Walton v. Arizona 497 U.S. 639 (1990) upheld two important aspects of the capital sentencing scheme in Arizona — judicial sentencing and the aggravating factor especially heinous cruel or depraved — as not unconstitutionally vague. The Supreme Court has overruled the first of these holdings in a 2002 decision called Ring v. Arizona 536 U.S. 584 (2002). The second of these holdings remains good law as of 30th October 2012.
