Did Ford v. Wainwright or Town of Greece v. Galloway happen first?
Ford v. Wainwright Ford v. Wainwright, 477 U.S. 399 (1986) , was a 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.
Criminal law in the Marshall Court The Marshall Court (1801–1835) heard forty-one criminal law cases, slightly more than one per year. Among such cases are "United States v.

Georgia" (1832), and "United States v. Wilson" (1833).
