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.
Chambers v. Mississippi, 405 U.S. 1205 (1972)
Chambers v. Mississippi No. A-785 (71-5908) Decided February 14, 1972 405 U.S. 1205
ON APPLICATION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER
ADMITTING PETITIONER TO BAIL
Syllabus
Application of Mississippi Attorney General, contending that petitioner’s return to the community will create a dangerous situation, supported by affidavits of local law enforcement officials stating in conclusory terms that petitioner’s presence will create a tense and explosive situation in the community, is denied and the order admitting petitioner to bail is reaffirmed, as petitioner is a lifelong resident of the community, owns his home, has his family there, served on the local police force, is a deacon in a local church, has no prior record, and was released on bail for 14 months before trial, apparently without incident.
