Conneaut v. Fromknecht

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that pickpocketing is a violent felony because of the likelihood of confrontation
• holding circumstances were not sufficiently exigent when, during a routine arrest, officers asked a naked defendant whether he had any weapons in the house and those officers already had discovered that the defendant lived alone and no one else was present
• rejecting public safety exception where defendant was arrested alone in his apartment, and the FBI had already completed a security sweep of his premises before the challenged question was asked
• finding that it was harmless error to admit defendant’s statement about presence of weapon in his apartment at trial where evidence showed that defendant “was the sole occupant of the apartment,” the apartment was leased in his name, and the gun was located among the defendant’s clothing
• statement obtained in vio- lation of Miranda was harmless error where other evidence at trial clearly established guilt
