The supreme court, of the corporate United states, hands down Benton v. maryland, overturning Palko v. connecticut: whereas the Article V of Amendment protection against Double Jeopardy did not apply to the states—via the fraudulent 14th amendment—three decades previous, now it does.
NOTE: Hugo Black, associate justice, participated in both decisions, and changed his position between the two cases.
