Dr. Aaron Henry had been cfm- victed on* charges of making im- moral advances towards a teenage , white boy. lie was originally sen \ tenced to six months in prison j and fined SSOO. NAACP attorneys defending Dr. Henry appealed the case to the Supreme Court on the grounds that he had been unlawfully ar- rested, that his automobile .vas unlawfully searched, that the af- fidavit on which he was tried in the lower court was illegal and defective, and that there was no corroborating evidence to support the charge against him. In setting aside the conviction, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Mississippi Supreme Court which had failed to decide federal issues raised before it. i The Mississippi Court was order- ed to decide Whether during the original trial Dr. Henry had knowingly waived his right to challenge the use of illegally seized evidence. The Court was directed to re- view the case in light of the prior U.S. Supreme Court decisions re lating to the waiver issue. > The case was argjied before the ?
