FEDERAL AND STATE CASES ON FALSE ARREST, THE STATUTORY CLASSIFICATION OF MARIJUANA, PROBATION AND PAROLE RIGHTS, AND VOICEPRINTS.
Abstract
IN CARTER V. CARLSON, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT REJECTED SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY DEFENSES PUT FORWARD BY AN INDIVIDUAL POLICEMAN, HIS SUPERIORS, AND THE DISTRICT IN A SUIT FOR FALSE ARREST. THE ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT CONCLUDED THAT MARIJUANA WAS NOT A HARD DRUG IN PEOPLE V. MCCABE, AND REDUCED THE PENALTY FOR ITS SALE. RECENT DECISIONS ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF PROBATIONERS AND PAROLEES ARE REPORTED. VOICEPRINTS WERE ALLOWED TO BE ENTERED AS EVIDENCE IN CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME BY A STATE APPELLATE COURT IN TRIMBLE V. HEDMAN, A MINNESOTA CASE.
