The Sixth Circuit ruled an arrestee was protected by the 4^th Amendment, not the 14^th Amendment, when he was viciously beaten at the Montgomery County, Ohio Jail during the booking process.  For the first time, the Court made clear that the 4^th Amendment not only applies through the booking process, but extends until a judicial determination of probable cause occurs (e.g., arraignment, warrant).  The 14^th Amendment protections begin after the judicial determination and until conviction.  The District Court properly denied Qualified Immunity to one defendant but the case was remanded for decision regarding the remaining defendants under the more lenient 4^th Amendment reasonableness standard.  The decision and other pleadings can be viewed here.
