...Supreme Court bench to avoid any semblance of conflict of interest now that his son Ramsey is U.S. Attorney General. Justice Clark, an undogmatic, plain-talking jurist, generally supported the court's civil rights decisions, but tended to side with the conservatives in cases such as Escobedo and Miranda, where the rights of accused criminals were involved...
...control" over them because they belong to the executive branch of government. Other judges disagree: police are widely considered an integral part of the administration of justice. The Supreme Court's famous Mallory rule commands federal police to bring suspects promptly before U.S. commissioners. In Mapp (1961), Escobedo (1964) and Miranda (1966), the court in effect ordered all American police to maintain certain standards on pain of losing their evidence. Last week Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Alfred Gittelson ordered all local police and prosecutors to obey an A.B.A.-style code of pretrial silence. He simply called them "ministers...
Chicago Criminal Court Judge Maurice Lee was getting nothing but moot replies in Spanish from two Puerto Rican complainants in a disorderly-conduct case. Was there an interpreter in the house? Up stepped Danny Escobedo, 29 (TIME Cover, April 29), who has been kindly disposed toward the law ever since 1964's Supreme Court decision in Escobedo v.

But, testified Danny, he had lawfully bought the gun in his own name, and was simply transporting it. Besides, it was broken into four parts, wrapped in a rag under the seat, and therefore was a non-weapon...
...jury believed Danny last week, just as another Chicago jury had cleared him of drug charges in 1965, apparently accepting his claim that the police got an addict to hand him some "goofballs" on a street corner. The police, though, are not yet through with Escobedo, who lost his last job as a truck loader because of his troubles. In November, he was arrested for burglary and disorderly conduct, after a policeman found him urinating under a porch near a just-robbed Chicago restaurant. He now faces trial on those charges, forcing yet another jury to ponder the endless case...
