The People v. Morris

Mr. Justice Schaefer,

concurring:

I concur in the result, but I do not agree with the observations concerning the right of an indigent defendant to a free transcript of the testimony at his preliminary hearing. At this time it is necessary to say only that in my opinion, when a court reporter was present at the preliminary hearing, as was true in this case, the holding in Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12, requires that the defendant be furnished with a copy of the transcript upon request.
