The Supreme Court's main decision Palko v. Connecticut was that Palko's conviction and execution should be upheld.

Palko v. Connecticut was a supreme court case in which the court ruled that provisions of the federal double jeopardy of the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution cannot be applied to the states. The court ruling also laid the foundation for the notion that some freedoms as contained in the bill of rights appeared more important than others.

Further Explanation

Frank Palka was charged with first-degree murder but sentenced to life imprisonment. He was sentenced to life imprisonment based on a lesser offense of second-degree murder. However, the case was appealed by prosecutors under the Connecticut law and Palka was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death.

Palka appealed the court judgment and argued that he was protected under the Fifth Amendment against double jeopardy, which he argued that the law was also applied to the state government.

However, in the Supreme Court decision delivered by Justice Benjamin Cardozo, the court ruled that the provisions of the federal jeopardy Fifth Amendment did not apply to states and therefore the decision of the lower court, which sentenced Palka to death, was upheld.
