HARLAN, J., Dissenting Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES


378 U.S. 478

Escobedo v. Illinois

CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ILLINOIS


No. 615 Argued: April 29, 1964 --- Decided: June 22, 1964

MR. JUSTICE HARLAN, dissenting.

I would affirm the judgment of the Supreme Court of Illinois on the basis of Cicenia v. Lagay, 357 U.S. 504, [p493] decided by this Court only six years ago. Like my Brother WHITE, post, p. 495, I think the rule announced today is most ill-conceived, and that it seriously and unjustifiably fetters perfectly legitimate methods of criminal law enforcement.
