Spaziano v. Florida
Spaziano v. Florida, was two United States Supreme Court cases dealing with the imposition of the death penalty.

However, the Florida Supreme Court would reverse Spaziano's death sentence based on the judge's receipt of a confidential report which was not received by either party. On remand, the judge reimposed the death penalty and the Florida Supreme Court upheld the sentence.
