Krulewitch v. United States
United States Supreme Court
336 U.S. 440 (1949)
- Written by Craig Conway, LLM
Facts
Krulewitch (defendant) and another person were charged with conspiring to violate, and actually violating, the Mann Act, a statute that prohibited interstate transportation for the purposes of prostitution. At trial, the government argued that even after the transportation was completed, the conspiracy continued. The continued existence of the conspiracy was important because a certain doctrine allowed any statements made by any conspirator during the course of the conspiracy admissible at trial against all other co-conspirators, even though such statements would ordinarily be excluded as hearsay. The U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari to review.
