Tumey v. Ohio (1927) 273 U.S. 510 is a US Supreme Court case, concerning the due process of Judicial disqualification.
Background[edit]
The 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[edit]
But 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]
