UNITED STATES v. EDWARDS

No. 73-88.

415 U.S. 800 (1974)

UNITED STATES v. EDWARDS ET AL.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided March 26, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edward R. Korman argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Bork, Assistant Attorney General Petersen, and Jerome M. Feit.

Thomas R. Smith, by appointment of the Court, 414 U.S. 1125, argued the cause and filed a brief for respondents.*

MR. JUSTICE WHITE delivered the opinion of the Court.

The question here is whether the Fourth Amendment should be extended to exclude from evidence certain clothing taken from respondent Edwards while he was in custody at the city jail approximately 10 hours after his arrest.

Shortly after 11 p. m. on May 31, 1970, respondent Edwards was lawfully arrested on the streets of Lebanon, Ohio, and charged with attempting to break into that city's Post Office.
