Helen Frances Sutton Root v. Isabel H. Gauper

How courts have described this case

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

• knowledge that victim had been removed from premises by medical personnel and no other victims found negated grounds for delayed warrantless entry by police
• town marshal’s delay of “several minutes” before warrantless entry inconsistent with belief “that wounded persons” were then “inside house awaiting attention.”
• warrantless searches are per se unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment – subject only to a few specifically established and well-delineated exceptions, such as plain view, consent, and exigency
• police, en route to residence, passed ambulance taking murder victim to hospital
• police, en route to residence, passed ambulance taking murder victim to hospital
• injured man already removed, so no emergency justified entry
