Supreme Court of the United States
Cason v. City of Columbus, 409 U.S. 1053 (1972)
93 S. Ct. 565

Cason v. City of Columbus

Opinion of the Court

Appeal from Sup. Ct. Ohio. Motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Judgment reversed. Gooding v. Wilson, 405 U. S. 518 (1972).

Concurring Opinion

Mr. Justice Powell,

concurring in the result.

As the court below applied a per se rule, apparently without regard to the circumstances under which the words were used, I join in the reversal. See my dissenting opinion in Rosenfeld v. New Jersey, 408 U. S. 901, 903 (1972); Lewis v. City of New Orleans, 408 U. S. 913 (1972), and Brown v. Oklahoma, 408 U. S. 914 (1972) (both concurring in result).

The Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Blackmun, and Mr. Justice Rehnquist dissent for the reasons expressed in the several opinions in Rosenfeld v. New Jersey, 408 U. S. 901 (1972); Lewis v. City of New Orleans, 408 U. S. 913 (1972); and Brown v. Oklahoma, 408 U. S. 914 (1972).
