The ruling of this case is perhaps not as significant or impacting as other famous Supreme Court cases, but it did impact society in some ways. The impact was huge or life altering for the population. The biggest impact this case had was the unintentional awareness it created about the death penalty and more importantly the spotlight it cast on the Florida Court System and the mistakes the system willingly allowed to happen. The population's eyes were opened to mistakes court systems allowed to happen because the court was more focused on the ruling and punishment, rather than the way the court received the information pertaining to the case.
