Tumey v. Ohio (1927) 273 U.S. 510 is a US Supreme Court case, concerning the due process of Judicial disqualification.
Background
editThe mayor of the village of North College Hill, Ohio received $12 for every defendant convicted before him. Ed Tumey was convicted before the mayor of unlawfully possessing intoxicating liquor.
Opinion of the Court
editBut it certainly violates the Fourteenth Amendment and deprives a defendant in a criminal case of due process of law to subject his liberty or property to the judgment of a court, the judge of which has a direct, personal, substantial pecuniary interest in reaching a conclusion against him in his case.[1]
