High court overturns flag patch conviction
The Supreme Court voided the Worcester Massachusetts flag patch conviction of Valarie Goguen by a 5 to 4 vote, deeming the state flag mistreatment law vague and overly broad. Justice Powell led the majority, citing lack of clear lines between criminal and nonceremonial acts, while Justices White and Rehnquist wrote separate opinions on First and Fourteenth Amendment issues. The decision follows broader rulings the Court announced on abortion privacy, police surveillance warrants, and antitrust reviews.
