The court vacates the 11th Circuit judgment. Breyer has a 4-justice plurality (w CJ, Ginsburg & Sotomayor), joined in judgment by Thomas.
-
#SCOTUS holds that the Sixth Amendment bars pretrial freezing of untainted assets where it prevents criminal defendant from hiring lawyer. -

Breyer details at length how the 4 justices weigh things. Thomas says this is "not merely an incidental burden," which is his weighing.
