Supreme Court rules mayors cannot sit as local judges in traffic cases
The Supreme Court, in a 7 to 2 decision, barred mayors from presiding over traffic and minor offense trials when impartiality could be questioned. The Monroeville case centered on Clarence Ward fined $100 for checkpoint violations. The ruling, echoed by Chief Justice Brennan, emphasizes potential bias and the need for fair trials, while dissenters White and Rehnquist urged case-by-case scrutiny.
