Stein v. New York
Is it still good law? What later courts have actually done to this case.
Status
More on how this was screened
Jackson rejected the confession procedure Stein had approved, requiring a reliable determination of voluntariness that the New York procedure did not provide. The confirmed treatment is listed below.
64 later cases cite Stein v. New York; 64 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
