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.
Odom v. United States, 400 U.S. 23 (1970)
Odom v. United States No. 300 Decided November 9, 1970 400 U.S. 23
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Greater severity of petitioner’s second sentence, as Court learned after granting certiorari on issue of retroactivity of North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, was based on petitioner’s conduct (specifically referred to at resentencing) after the first sentencing; writ is therefore dismissed as improvidently granted.
403 F.2d 45, certiorari dismissed.
