State v. Santanagreen
nh · 1991 · cited in 2 New Hampshire opinions naming this issue, 2012–2012
2 sentences

2012For example, in State v. Santana, 133 N.H. 798, 807-09 , 586 A.2d 77 (1991), we declined to address an alternative ground for upholding the trial court's decision because the State did not raise the issue at trial and thus "the defendant ... never had the opportunity to consider that legal issue or the development *349 of facts that might or might not have supported [his] argument." Here, there is equally good reason not to follow the alternative grounds rule.

People v. Harrisgreen
ill · 2008 · cited in 1 New Hampshire opinions naming this issue, 2017–2017

2017We note, however, that, subsequent to our decision in McKinnon-Andrews , the Illinois Supreme Court, in People v. Harris , 228 Ill.2d 222 , 319 Ill.Dec. 823 , 886 N.E.2d 947 (2008), overruled Gonzalez on the grounds that the inquiry into whether the questioning "changed the fundamental nature of the stop" is inconsistent with subsequent U.S. Supreme Court cases, which make clear that the scope of police questioning has a bearing on the lawfulness of a traffic stop only if its effect is to prolong the duration of the stop.

scotus · 1964
1 sentence

1964“The verdict of $31,500 against the defendant, brought about by the failure of the Trial Court to grant defendant’s motions for nonsuit and for directed verdict on the grounds of privilege, his failure to direct the jury that defendant’s published criticism was a matter of public concern, and that defendant was entitled to the defense of privileged criticism, his leaving to the jury the issue of malice of which there is no evidence, and his placing the burden on the defendant to prove the truth of his criticism, was a violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Consti
