Murray v. Florida

Murray v. Florida
Supreme Court of the United States · Decided January 15, 1968 · Douglas
389 U.S. 1058 (United States Reports)

Murray v. Florida

Dissenting Opinion

Mr. Justice Douglas,

dissenting.

For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Whitney v. Florida, ante, p. 138, and particularly in light of the increasing burden on federal courts caused by habeas corpus petitions of state prisoners who are unable to obtain hearings in state courts, I would grant the writ of certiorari and remand the case to Florida with directions to give petitioner an evidentiary hearing.

Opinion of the Court

Sup. Ct. Fla. Certiorari denied.
