State Supreme Court ruling slows dry force prosecutions
A state supreme court decision narrows evidence admissibility in prohibition cases involving possession of liquor or mash. It limits convictions to show that the specific item was for manufacturing whiskey, not mere possession. The ruling affects how officers may link ingredients or containers to illegal liquor activities and may raise defenses for defendants under previous violations.
