Summary

Byron White Johnson v. Florida — Dissent

Florida's courts have obviously interpreted their statute to permit a showing that a defendant was on a park bench at 4:25 a.m. 'without any lawful purpose or object' to establish a prima facie case that the defendant was 'wandering or strolling around' without lawful purpose. Most inhabitants of park benches reach their bench by wandering or strolling. So interpreting the statute, constitutionally sufficient amounts of evidence were presented.
