U.S. Const. amend. IV

Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless “the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.”

Facts And Procedural History

At about 10:45p.m. on October 3, 1974, Memphis police officers Leslie Wright and Elton Hymon were dispatched to answer a burglary call next door. Officer Hymon went behind the house as his partner radioed back to the station. Hymon witnessed someone running across the yard. The fleeing suspect, Edward Garner, stopped at a 6-foot-high (1.8 m) chain-link fence. Using his flashlight, Hymon could see Garner’s face and hands, and was reasonably sure that Garner was unarmed. The police testified that they believed Garner was 17 or 18 years old; Garner was in fact 15 years old. After Hymon ordered Garner to halt, Garner began to climb the fence. Believing that Garner would certainly flee if he made it over the fence, Hymon shot him. The bullet struck Garner in the back of the head, and he died shortly after anambulance took him to a nearby hospital. Ten dollars and a purse taken from the burglarized house were found on his person.

Hymon acted according to a Tennessee state statute and official Memphis Police Department policy authorizing deadly force against a fleeing suspect. The statute provided that “if, after notice of the intention to arrest the defendant, he either flee or forcibly resist, the officer may use all the necessary means to effect the arrest.”

Garner’s father then brought suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee under the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, naming the City of Memphis, its mayor, the Memphis Police Department, its director, and Officer Hymon as defendants. The District Court found the statute, and Hymon’s actions, to be constitutional. On appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reversed. The Court of Appeals held that the killing of a fleeing suspect is a “seizure” for the purposes of the Fourth Amendment, and is therefore constitutional only when it is reasonable. The court then found that based on the facts in this case, the Tennessee statute failed to properly limit the use of deadly force by reference to the seriousness of the felony.

Majority Opinion

Justice White wrote for the majority, first agreeing with the Sixth Circuit’s determination that apprehension by use of deadly force is a seizure, then framing the legal issue as whether the totality of the circumstances justified the seizure. In order to determine the constitutionality of a seizure, White reasoned, the court must weigh the nature of the intrusion of the suspect’s Fourth Amendment rights against the government interests which justified the intrusion.

The use of deadly force against a subject is the most intrusive type of seizure possible, because it deprives the suspect of his life, and White held that the state failed to present evidence that its interest in shooting unarmed fleeing suspects outweighs the suspect’s interest in his own survival.

White examined the common law rule on this matter and its rationale. At common law, it was perfectly legitimate for law enforcement personnel to kill a fleeing felon. At the time when this rule was first created, most felonies were punishable by death, and the difference between felonies and misdemeanors was relatively large. In modern American law, neither of these circumstances existed. Furthermore, the common law rule developed at a time before modern firearms, and most law enforcement officers did not carry handguns. The context in which the common law rule evolved was no longer valid. White further noted that many jurisdictions had already done away with it, and that current research has shown that the use of deadly force contributes little to the deterrence of crime or the protection of the public.

On the basis of the facts found by the district court, Hymon had no reason to believe that Garner was armed or dangerous. The Court ordered the case remanded for a determination on the liability of the other defendants.

Dissent

In her dissent, Justice O’Connor highlighted the fact that police officers must often make swift, spur-of-the-moment decisions while on patrol, and argued that the majority did not properly consider this aspect of the case. Moreover, burglary is a serious crime which often leads to rape and murder, and the Tennessee statute represents the state legislature‘s judgment that such crimes may require the use of deadly force in order to protect the public against those who commit such crimes. She also disagreed that a suspect’s interest in his own life necessarily allows the right to flee from the scene of a crime when pursued, thereby escaping due process.

Aces earn exciting 3-2 win over SEMO in home opener

Aces host Dunn Hospitality Tournament this weekend

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Mildrelis Rodriguez posted 18 kills while Erlicia Griffith notched 11 blocks to lead the University of Evansville volleyball team to a 3-2 win over Southeast Missouri State in Monday’s home opener at the Carson Center.

Rodriguez had the best performance of the season for a UE (1-5) player.  She also had 15 digs, a team-high.  Rocio Fortuny had a stellar match as she finished with 13 kills and 10 digs.  On defensive, it was Griffith getting the job done once again, finishing with two solo blocks, nine block assists and seven kills.

“The girls are staying calm and reacting better with every game we play,” head coach Manolo Concepcion said.  “We talked about 3 things – urgency, competitiveness and teamwork.  We wanted to raise the standard.  Instead of just trying, we wanted to execute.  We are still learning how to win, but the girls are getting better with the process.”

Pacing the Redhawks (1-6) was Krissa Gearring, who notched 23 kills.  Just behind her was teammate Madeline Grimm who had 22.

Erlicia Griffith notched four block assists in the opening set as SEMO took a 25-20 win.  After Evansville took a 4-2 lead, the Redhawks reeled off the next five points before Deja Clark ended the run with a kill.  Olivia Goldstein helped UE tie it back up at 9-9 with back-to-back service aces, but SEMO wrestled the advantage away, going up by a 24-16 score.  Evansville notched four in a row but the Redhawks finished with a 25-20 win.Game two was a back-and-forth battle down to the wire.  The Aces once again opened up a 4-2 advantage before Southeast Missouri State went up by four at 17-13.  Evansville rallied back as a Jelena Merseli ace made it a 17-16 game.

Later, the Aces were able to tie it up at 21-21 on a double block from Griffith and Mildrelis Rodriguez.  Joselyn Coronel added an ace of her own to put UE on top at 22-21.  After the Redhawks took a 23-22 lead, Evansville was able to make the plays down the stretch as Griffith hit a powerful kill to complete the 31-29 win.

SEMO got the quick start in the third frame, jumping out to a 6-2 advantage.  The Aces made a run as a pair of Rocio Fortuny kills put UE up 8-7 and the lead extended from that point to 19-14.  The Redhawks fought back before Rodriguez had the clinching kill to give UE a 25-21 win and a 2-1 lead in the match.

The Redhawks put forth their most dominating effort of the night in the fourth set, forcing a fifth set with a 25-10 win.  Their momentum continued as they grabbed a 5-2 advantage.  Rachel Tam helped UE tie it up with an ace before a Jelena Merseli kill was part of a rally that gave UE a 9-8 lead.  From there, they pulled away for a 15-9 triumph as Fortuny had the final two kills of the match.

This weekend, the Aces are home for three matches in the Dunn Hospitality Tournament.  A match against Austin Peay gets the weekend started at 7 p.m. Friday before UE faces Dayton at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.  The finale will see Evansville take on Kent State at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday evening.
