Constitutional Law: Supreme Court Holds Pennsylvania Statute Imposing Costs on an Acquitted Defendant Void for Vagueness
In sustaining the defendant's vagueness challenge, the Supreme Court rejected the State's contention that since the statute was "civil" in character, it did not have to meet the due process standard of certainty required of criminal statutes.
