- Effect of U.S. Const., amend. 21.
- United States Const., amend. 21 took away the power to continue prosecutions begun under the National Prohibition Act before repeal of U.S. Const., amend. 18, or to enforce judgments of conviction which had not become final prior to ratification. Hosier v. Aderhold, 71 F.2d 422, 1934 U.S. App. LEXIS 3116 (5th Cir. 1934). Whatever power was granted by U.S. Const., amend. 18 was recalled by U.S. Const., amend. 21 and, with the recall of the power, necessarily fell acts of Congress adopted thereunder. Green v. Page, 9 F. Supp. 844, 1935 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1918 (S.D. Ga. 1935).
- Prospective application.
- United States Const., amend. 21 is prospective and does not apply retroactively to a case where a prosecution has been completed and a valid judgment entered before its adoption. Hosier v. Aderhold, 71 F.2d 422, 1934 U.S. App. LEXIS 3116 (5th Cir. 1934).
- No double jeopardy found.
- General principles of double jeopardy did not bar the defendant’s retrial on the malice murder charge because the verdicts were repugnant and, thus, failed to result in an event that terminated jeopardy, akin to a situation in which a mistrial is declared after a jury could not reach a verdict. McElrath v. State, 315 Ga. 126, 880 S.E.2d 518, 2022 Ga. LEXIS 296 (2022), rev’d, 601 U.S. 87, 144 S. Ct. 651, 217 L. Ed. 2d 419, 2024 U.S. LEXIS 997 (2024), vacated in part, reaff’d, 319 Ga. 539, 905 S.E.2d 654, 2024 Ga. LEXIS 165 (2024).

- Presence of liquor in vehicle at the time of search and seizure as condition of forfeiture for violating prohibition, 71 A.L.R. 911.
