Beecher v. Alabama, 389 U.S. 35 (1967), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that eliciting a confession from a suspect while he was under the influence of morphine and recovering from a gunshot wound violated the Due Process Clause.

[1][2] Although the decision was unanimous and unsigned, the four concurring justices disagreed with describing this as a violation of the Due Process Clause.

The four would have described it as a violation of the Fifth Amendment's self-incrimination protections, which had recently been incorporated against the states in Malloy v.
