Giaccio  v.  Pennsylvania

 Argued: Dec. 6, 1965. --- Decided: Jan 19, 1966


Mr. Justice FORTAS, concurring.

In my opinion, the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not permit a State to impose a penalty or costs upon a defendant whom the jury has found not guilty of any offense with which he has been charged.
