US Supreme Court issues 2 other decisions in criminal cases

ADVERTISEMENTS
In addition to the opinion in Baze v. Rees, which is noted below, the US Supreme Court also issued decisions today in Begay v. U.S. and Burgess v. U.S. In Begay the Court held, in a 6-3 decision, that drunk driving is not a "violent felony" for the purposes of an enhanced prison sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act. The majority opinion was authored by Justice Breyer. In Burgess the Court held that a drug crime that is punishable by more than one year in prison is a "felony drug offense" even if it is classified by state law as a misdemeanor. The unanimous opinion was authored by Justice Ginsburg.
