What happened to Ms. Mapp in her US Supreme Court case Mapp v Ohio?
Dollree Mapp won her US Supreme Court case by a vote of 6-3, and her conviction for possession of pornography was vacated, ending the seven-year prison sentence Ohio imposed in 1958.Although Mapp's attorney argued originally argued the Ohio law under which Mapp was convicted was unconstitutional because it was overbroad and infringed on her First Amendment rights, the Supreme Court ultimately decided the case on the basis of a Fourth Amendment search and seizure violation, incorporating that Amendment to the states and extending the federal "exclusionary rule" to prohibit illegally obtained evidence from being used against the defendant in court.Mapp faded into obscurity and moved to Queens, NY, where she purchased a furniture store. In 1970, police allegedly discovered approximately 50,000 heroine packets in an apartment she owned and shared with a boyfriend. The two were arrested, and Mapp was convicted (legally, this time) and sentenced to 20 years to life in a New York state prison. The Governor of New York commuted Mapp's sentence in 1980.Case Citation:Mapp v. Ohio, 367 US 643 (1961)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
