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.
Pinkus v. United States, 436 U.S. 293 (1978)
MR. JUSTICE POWELL, dissenting.
Although I agree with the Court that, in a federal prosecution, the instruction as to children should not have been given, on the facts of this case, I view the error as harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. I therefore would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
