The Supreme Court of the United States granted the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari in the case of Edward Anderson et al. v. Georgia. The Court reversed the judgments of the Supreme Court of Georgia, referencing the precedent set in Whitus v. State of Georgia. Justice Harlan expressed a desire to have the case considered in a more detailed plenary session. The case was argued by petitioners Jack Greenberg, Charles Stephen Ralston, and Michael Meltsner, with the respondent represented by Georgia's Attorney General and assistants.
