Lindsey v. Indiana

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that finding of illegal seizure under facts alleged would not affect validity of guilty plea or conviction
• holding that plain- tiff’s claim for unlawful seizure was not barred by Heck
• holding Heck inapplicable to plaintiff’s Fourth Amendment claim where he pled guilty to driving on a suspended or revoked license
• finding that unlawful seizure claim was not barred by Heck because it would not imply the invalidity of Plaintiffs conviction, where there was irrefutable evidence of guilt
• explaining that even if evidence is the result of an illegal search or seizure, it has no relevance \to the validity of [a] guilty plea and ensuing conviction\
• reasoning that since there was no trial, “[a] finding that the defendant was illegally seized— BYRD V. PHOENIX POLICE DEP’T 17 the finding he seeks in this suit—would therefore have no relevance to the validity of his guilty plea and ensuing conviction”
