The article states "the situation [presumably the case, or perhaps its outcome] left a permanent mark on capital punishment jurisprudence", but stops there. How did it do so? That we've (mostly) never heard of the case argues otherwise. This point should be expanded on. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:02, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- I do not know. The source simply states that "not surprisingly, the situation left an indelible mark on death penalty jurisprudence". Unfortunately, it does not elaborate on this. It would be very useful if we knew more, though. Is there anything we can do about it? Surtsicna (talk) 15:37, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
