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.
Smith v. Mississippi, 373 U.S. 238 (1963)
Smith v. Mississippi No. 667 Argued April 30, 1963 Decided May 13, 1963 373 U.S. 238
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI
Syllabus
After oral argument and study of the record, it appears that the record is not sufficient to permit decision of petitioner’s claims that, in his trial and conviction for rape, he was denied rights secured to him by the Fourteenth Amendment. Therefore, the writ of certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted, without prejudice to an application for federal habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 after exhaustion of any state remedies still open to petitioner.
