Supreme Court of the United States

Michigan v. Fisher — Stevens, J., dissenting

December 7, 2009558 U.S. 45

Summary

Justice Stevens dissents, arguing the Court should not overturn the trial judge's fact-intensive decision that the warrantless entry lacked an emergency-aid basis. He notes the trial judge heard testimony and found no objectively reasonable belief that Fisher needed immediate aid, criticizing the Court for micromanaging state fact-finding.
