Enmund v. Florida

The Supreme Court's decision in this case stands out as one of the more liberal opinions of the Court for cases involving the death sentence of a person who did not actually attempt or intend to kill the victim. Because the state conceded that it could not prove that Enmund attempted or intended to kill the victim, the Court reversed the lower courts' rulings. However, the Supreme Court ruled differently in later cases, indicating that the Court has grown less lenient over the years.
