How does the Tennessee vs garner case effect law enforcement?
Tennessee v Garner was basically a case involving the use of deadly physical force to defend property. Officer Hymon of the Memphis Police, responding to a call of a unauthorized entry of a house, was startled by Garner, a 17 year old, as he ran out of the back door of the house and across the dark yard to a six foot fence. Hymon announced his authority and told the suspect to stop. Hymon, using his flashlight, did not see any weapons, and Garner did not threaten him with any. As Garner proceeded to climb over the fence to escape, Officer Hymon shot him in the back of the head and killed him. Garner was later found to be in possession of a purse and ten dollars from the house, but no weapon. The lower courts found Officer Hymon's actions to be reasonable based on Tennessee law at the time. The Supreme Court, in it's finding, basically stated that the Police cannot use deadly physical force to prevent property crimes. The officer must actually fear use of deadly physical force against themselves or third parties.
You are an attorney. Your client, who is in prison, says the government is violating her Fourteenth Amendment rights. What do you do?
If your client is claiming that the government is violating her Fourteenth Amendment rights, you would begin by researching her case to see if the Fourteenth Amendment applies. If it does not apply, you would explain to your client that the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to her because she is a naturalized citizen rather than a U.S. citizen from birth. If the Fourteenth Amendment does apply, you would file a motion for a mistrial based on violation of the Constitution.
