The Supreme Court has significantly influenced how states administer the death penalty through a series of landmark rulings that address its constitutionality and implementation. Cases like Furman v. Georgia (1972) imposed stricter scrutiny on capital punishment, leading to reforms aimed at reducing arbitrariness and bias. Subsequent decisions, such as Gregg v. Georgia (1976), upheld certain death penalty statutes but required states to establish clear guidelines to ensure fair sentencing. Additionally, rulings on issues like lethal injection protocols and the mental competency of defendants have further shaped state practices and policies regarding capital punishment.
