3. Explain how or why it is considered a landmark decision - was it a precedent? (How has this case been used to change the law or in similar decisions that came after?)

4. Compare the outcome of these cases with present notions of justice. Has law changed since this case and how? (Would the charge, trial, sentence be different today?)
