About Ford V. Wainwright
Ford v. Wainwright, 477 U. S. 399, was a landmark U. S. Supreme Court case that upheld the common law rule that the insane cannot be executed; therefore the petitioner is entitled to a competency evaluation and to an evidentiary hearing in court on the question of their competency to be executed.
