It was changed in Ropers v Simmons

Explanation:

• Stanford v Kentucky was a United States Supreme court case that authorized the imposition of death penalties to people who are 16 years and above at the time the crime was committed.

• Ropers v Simmons was a case in the U.S Supreme court which states that it was unconstitutional to enforce capital punishment for crimes committed while under 18 years. Christopher Simmons and his two friends murdered Shirley Cook and he confessed to committing the crime. The case was brought for trial and the appeal challenged the constitutionality of capital punishment for juveniles.

• The 5-4 decision in Ropers v Simmons overturned the decision in Stanford v Kentucky where offenders from 16 years were punished for crimes committed.
