U.S. Supreme Court case

Watch this one "take off."

The Supreme Court in its October session will be hearing a case from Georgia to clear up conflicting rulings between state and federal courts on whether a search by police, without a warrant, but with the initial consent of a subject's wife over that subject's objection, is a violation of that subject's rights.
A Reuter's article yesterday afternoon, and a Law.com article this morning have background and additional information.

The U.S. Supreme Court has the case docketed as Case 04-1067. The Georgia Supreme Court's case is cited 264 Ga. 614, 604 SE2d 835 and the appeals case is at 265 GaApp. 396, 590 SE2d 834.
