Supreme Court Unanimously Rules in Favor of 94-Year-Old Geraldine Tyler in Constitutional Claim Against Hennepin County

Geraldine Tyler, a 94-year-old Minneapolis resident, won a unanimous Supreme Court ruling in her claim that Hennepin County violated the Constitution when it sold her condominium and kept the entire $40,000 profit. The Court agreed that the county had taken her property without paying "just compensation" and that she can pursue her argument that the county violated the Constitution. This ruling sets a precedent for other cases involving the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment.
