General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Torres-Valencia v. United States, 464 U.S. 44 (1983)
Torres-Valencia v. United States No. 82-6848 Decided November 7, 1983 464 U.S. 44
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED
STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Held: The Court of Appeals’ judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded, since both the Government’s concession in its brief opposing the petition for certiorari that the District Court erroneously refused to give petitioner’s character evidence instruction to the jury and its contention in this Court that the error was harmless should be presented to the Court of Appeals in the first instance.
Certiorari granted; vacated and remanded.
