Casey v. United States (343 U.S. 808)/Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
Casey v. United States (343 U.S. 808)
Argued: March 3, 1952. --- Decided: June 9, 1952
The controlling claim in this case is that there was an unreasonable search and seizure of evidence, the admission of which vitiated the convictions. Before determining these issues conflicting views as to the facts in this case and the inferences to be drawn from them would have to be resolved. The Solicitor General confesses error and asks that the judgment below should be reversed as to all the petitioners, leaving of course the way open for a new trial. To accept in this case his confession of error would not involve the establishment of any precedent.
Accordingly we reverse the judgment as to all the petitioners.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, with whom The CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Justice REED join, dissenting.
