Answer:
The decision overturned a 5-4 decision by the Court in 1989, in Stanford v. Kentucky, allowing the execution of murderers who committed their crimes when they were 16 or 17 years old. (The Court had ruled in Thompson v. ... Virginia, that the death penalty is unconstitutional for mentally retarded individuals.)
