Definición
- In the process of deciding in United States v. Morgan, 222 U.S. 274 (1911), that a district attorney could begin proceedings against a defendant without giving notice or an opportunity to be heard first, the U.S. Supreme Court observed that the oath required by the Fourth Amendment would protect defendants against malicious prosecution. Justice Joseph Lamar wrote the Court's unanimous opinion, overturning a decision by the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York that had reversed Morgan's conviction for shipping misbranded goods (processed city water labeled as “Imperial Spring Water”) in interstate commerce in violation of the Pure Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906.
