For any criminal law practitioner on the lookout for new developments, the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in Michigan v. Bryant warrants particular attention.1
On April 28, 2001, at 3:25 a.m., five Detroit police officers responded to a radio dispatch that a man had been shot. The officers found Anthony Covington at a gas station, lying on the ground next to his car with a bullet wound to his stomach. He was bleeding profusely, visibly in pain, and having difficulty talking. When an officer asked “what happened,” Mr. Covington responded that “Rick” had shot him 30 minutes before. The bullet had passed through the back door of Rick’s apartment, which was six blocks away.
