The only other case I could think of was Escobedo v. Somewhere Colder than Florida (Michigan? Ohio?), but that one centers on the right to counsel too, I think.
Been awhile since I took Con Law… and it might just be one I’d never heard of.
Escobedo v Illinois [Illinois isn’t that cold] Hmm- I thought Miranda codified what Escobedo started. But the only Con Law I ever took was in high school, more than 35 years ago :eek:
Although Elendil’s Heir stumped me on his earlier questions about Harry Truman, here’s a few more about the Man from Independence
-
This future mayor of St Louis often told the story of the time he shined a customer’s shoes at St Louis Union Station. The shoe shiner was surprised to note it was Harry Truman whose shoes he was shining.
-
Bess Truman was said not to have allowed this political ally of Truman into the Truman’s private residence in Independence. Her prejudice seems very strange today.
-
Truman was an early proponent of this, an issue we are still wresting with, more than 50 years later.
-
This Kansas City political boss that got Truman started in politics.
-
The boss was instrumental getting Truman elected to this position before he was elected to the US Senate.
- Was it his Jewish haberdashery partner, Lou Jacobs, IIRC?
- Ensuring Israel’s security; he was the first world leader to grant diplomatic recognition.
- Pendergast.
- County judge (the equivalent of county commissioner elsewhere).
- Eddie Jacobs, IIRC
- Correct, though I was thinking about his proposal for some kind of national health insurance program.
correct on the other two also.
Not sure that most St Louisans could come up with 1077.
I also note that a post in a GD thread says that Escobedo v Illinois guaranteed the accused legal counsel during police interrogation.
