美国最高法院允许街头传教士起诉密西西比州的言论法, Supreme Court allows street preacher to sue over Mississippi speech law, ruling it doesn't challenge his prior conviction.

美国最高法院一致裁定街头传教士加布里埃尔·奥利维耶可以起诉民事案件,挑战密西西比州的一项城市法令限制他在音乐会场附近的演讲,尽管他以前曾被判处有罪. The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that street preacher Gabriel Olivier can pursue a civil lawsuit challenging a Mississippi city ordinance that restricted his speech near a concert venue, even though he was previously convicted under it. 法院认为,由于奥利维尔只要求未来的救济 - 例如禁止执行条例的禁令 - 这一案件并不违反1994年的先例赫克诉汉弗里案,该案禁止民事诉讼破坏刑事定罪. The Court held that because Olivier seeks only future relief—such as an injunction against enforcement of the ordinance—his case does not violate the 1994 precedent Heck v. Humphrey, which bars civil suits that would undermine criminal convictions. 司法官艾琳娜·卡根写了这份意见,强调挑战法律执行与攻击过去的判决之间的区别. Justice Elena Kagan wrote the opinion, emphasizing the distinction between challenging a law’s enforcement and attacking a past judgment. 让案件继续进行, 可能会影响全国各地的类似抗议法规. The decision allows the case to move forward, potentially affecting similar protest regulations nationwide.
