Supreme Court Overturns Florida Contempt Conviction
The Supreme Court unanimously quashed a Florida State Court contempt conviction against the Miami Herald and editor John Pennekamp. Judges Reed and Murphy rejected the notion that critical press comment could be punished, stressing free press includes critique even when harsh or erroneous, and cautioning against limiting public rebuke of the judiciary. The case stemmed from two editorials and a cartoon deemed to interfere with justice. Florida had upheld the conviction in 1944.
