Hoffa v. United States

During his Test Fleet trial for federal labor law violations, Hoffa (defendant) frequently confided in Partin, a coworker facing unrelated charges who had become a paid government informant, making numerous statements suggesting he was bribing jurors; Partin testified about these statements and reported them to the prosecution, without ever disclosing his informant status to Hoffa. Hoffa was convicted, arguing Partin's presence in his hotel suite was based on deception that invalidated his consent and effectively amounted to an illegal search.
