On January 14, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in Case v. Montana that matters for anyone litigating, or concerned about, welfare checks, mental health crisis calls, and warrantless home entries.
Believe it or not, when a person does a criminal act and is arrested there is a moment of decision by the prosecuting authority whether or not to pursue charges aka push the case further down the legal gambit. A lot of people have an on/off view of the guilty/innocent process but in reality there is a ton of grey area.
