SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
Hello,
There are a few new Supreme Court decisions that will be of interest to the inmate population. The first one deals with 1983 lawsuits. The court decided in WALLACE V. KATO that the citizen who was arrested in violation of the Fourth Amendment in 1994 had to bring his suit within two years of that date, not from the time the state dismissed the charges against him in 2002. This case is a narrowing of the application of HECK
V. HUMPHREY and will open the door for 1983 suits by prisoners who may have had Fourth Amendment violations in their case that did not lead to a dismissal of the charges.
While it is obvious that the state friendly Supreme Court was making this ruling to help the state it will have the ultimate effect of screwing the states in the long run. If you know anyone in prison, or currently being prosecuted, please let them know about this new case.
You can see all the new court decisions by clicking the link to CORNELL LAW on the right side of this blog.
