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.
Cardinale v. Louisiana, 394 U.S. 437 (1969)
Cardinale v. Louisiana No. 76 Argued February 24, 1969 Decided April 1, 1969 394 U.S. 437
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
Syllabus
Since petitioner’s contention that a Louisiana statute requiring that confessions be admitted into evidence in their entirety notwithstanding their inclusion of irrelevant and prejudicial material is unconstitutional -- the sole federal question argued in this Court -- was not raised, preserved, or passed on in the state courts, the writ of certiorari is dismissed for want of jurisdiction, as this Court will not decide federal questions raised here for the first time on review of state court decisions. Pp. 438-439.
251 La. 827, 206 So.2d 510, certiorari dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
