Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Petitioner's 4th amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure was violated

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Whether Petitioner’s 4** amendment right against unreasonable search was violated where police made warrantless entry into his hotel on the basis that a third party who had purchased the room but who was not staying in the room gave consent to search. Whether Petitioner’s 4th amendment right against unreasonable seizure was violated where police lacked authority to arrest under state law because probable cause existed only as to a misdemeanor offense which required a warrant before arrest. Whether Petitioner’s 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination where Petitioner, a juvenile, was interviewed outside the presence of his parents and where he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the interview. Whether Petitioner's 14th Amendment due process rights were violated by the Court’s conduct during trial and pretrial proceedings where his transfer to criminal jurisdiction was done in violation of statute, where jury questions were answered in a manner to optimize the state’s advantage, and where unrelated prior acts evidence was improperly admitted as intrinsic to the charged crime.
