...every search without warrant is illegal," noted Judge Comley. "For example, a search which is an incident to a lawful arrest is proper." But the search of Miller's car was "remote from the arrest both in time and space." The U.S. citizen's immunity from such illegal search is a cornerstone of the Constitution, and the court was guarding against any erosion of that immunity...
King's arrest, as he had anticipated, swiftly led to even more jailings. Some 474 Negro children deserted their classes to protest King's arrest; they were charged with juvenile delinquency. Another 36 Negro adults were charged with contempt of court for picketing the courthouse while state circuit court was in session. Next day another 111 adults were arrested on the same charge, despite their claim that they merely wanted to see the voting registrar: nearly 400 students were also arrested, packed into buses and driven to the old Selma armory...

Hogan finally issued a 1,400-word statement clearing Whitmore of the Wylie-Hoffert murders, though not of the Brooklyn murder, which is not in Hogan's jurisdiction. One of Hogan's assistants declared: "I am positive that the police prepared the confession for Whitmore just as his lawyers charged." And he added: "If this had not been a celebrated case, if this case hadn't got the tremendous publicity, if this was what we so-called professionals call a run-of-the-mill murder, Whitmore might well have...
