How later courts describe this case
- specifically rejects standard of SEC v. Coffey, supra, relied on by Katz
- “There is no rational basis to presume guilt and active criminality from the mere fact of an arrest. * * * Few things are as fundamental to our legal system as the presumption of innocence until overcome by proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at a fair trial.”
