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.
Frisbie v. Collins, 342 U.S. 519 (1952)
Frisbie v. Collins No. 331 Argued January 28, 1952 Decided March 10, 1952 342 U.S. 519
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. That a person was forcibly abducted and taken from one state to another to be tried for a crime does not invalidate his conviction in a court of the latter state under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Ker v. Illinois, 119 U.S. 436. P. 522.
2. A different result is not required by the Federal Kidnapping Act, even if the abduction was a violation of that Act. Pp. 522-523.
3. There being sound arguments to support the conclusion of the Court of Appeals in this case that there were "special circumstances" which required prompt federal intervention, that conclusion is accepted by this Court without deciding whether state remedies had been exhausted before relief from state imprisonment was sought in a federal court. Pp. 520-522.
189 F.2d 464, reversed.
The district court denied respondent’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The Court of Appeals reversed. 189 F.2d 464. This Court granted certiorari. 342 U.S. 865. Reversed, p. 523.
