HAM V. SOUTH CAROLINA
409 U.S. 524 (1973)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction of possession of marijuana.
FACTS: D is a bearded young Negro who has lived in South Carolina most of his life and
was known for his civil rights activities. His basic defense at trial was that law
enforcement was out to get him because of his civil rights activities and that he had been
framed on the drug charge of possession of marijuana. D's counsel requested voir dire
examination to include questions related to the possible prejudice of jurors against D. The
trial judge asked three general questions of racial bias but refused to ask the three that
were proposed by D. D was convicted and appealed.
