Supreme Court limits use of prior convictions in trials
The court ruled 54 to uphold that juries should not hear the specific details of a defendant’s past felonies when determining guilt unless a statute makes the prior record an element of the offense. In the Old Chief case on a Montana Indian reservation fracas, Johnny Lynn Old Chief offered to concede felon status and argued against exposing past crimes, a stance the justices rejected in lower courts but accepted on appeal. Justice David Souter wrote the decision.
