John Marshall Harlan II,
Guzman v. Pichirilo — Dissent
“ To reverse it now on what is essentially only an evidentiary ground is, in my view, an improvident use of the certiorari power: the Court has done no more than 'to substitute its views' for those of the Court of Appeals on purely factual issues, reached upon a fair assessment of the trial record. 352 U.S., at 562-563, 77 S.Ct. 443. Respecting the legal issues which this Court does not decide, I think that the Court of Appeals was plainly correct in deciding them as it did. ”
