Rapist and murderer Oswald Danes used the Fifth and Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to explain why he could not be re-executed after the State of Kentucky's first attempt failed on Miracle Day. He claimed that the Fifth Amendment's guarantee that ". . . nor shall any person be subject for the same offense twice", in concert with the Eighth Amendment's protection against "cruel or unusual punishment" offered him a superior legal position.
