unlawful conduct by the police
io io io io io
Exclusionary Rule Exceptions - (correct answer) -good faith io io io io io io io
inevitable discovery io
purged taint io
independent source io
The Good Faith Exception : - (correct answer) -An exception to the exclusionary rule, holding that
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
evidence seized on the basis of a mistakenly issued search warrant can be introduced at trial if the
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
mistake was made in good faith, that is, if all the parties involved had reason at the time to believe
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
that the warrant was proper.
io io io io io
*not applicable in GA*
io io io
independent source exception - (correct answer) -the essential aspect is the existence of evidence
io io io io io io io io io io io io io
which was not illegally seized and which in fact provided an independent basis for the discovery of the
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
challenged evidence
io io
inevitable discovery exception - (correct answer) -improperly obtained evidence can be used when it
io io io io io io io io io io io io io
would later have inevitably been discovered without improper actions by the police

Purged Taint Exception - (correct answer) -If the evidence that is to be introduced is so far removed
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
from the wrong done by the cops then it may be admissible.
io io io io io io io io io io io io
, (attenuation)
US v. Leon (1984) - (correct answer) -Created the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule

and GA has a statute that restricts govt action (bc no good faith exception here)

io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
the trial.
io io
1. the search and seizure was illegal
io io io io io io
2. the search and seizure with a warrant was illegal because the warrant is insufficient on its face,
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
there was not probable cause for the issuance of the warrant, or the warrant was illegally executed
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
Burden of Proof is on - (correct answer) -the state
io io io io io io io io io
Independent Source Example - (correct answer) -the source of evidence must be independent of the
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
initial illegal action taken place.

ex: prints from illegal arrest thrown out, but prints from a prior legal arrest can be used
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
inevitable discovery example - (correct answer) -impossible to avoid or prevent ; an unavoidable event
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
- requires only that the evidence hypothetically would have been seized through some legal means
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
must be actively pursuing means of discovery
io io io io io io
ex: *Christian Burial Case*
io io io
Brewer v. Williams (1977) - (correct answer) -Called the Christian Burial Speech
io io io io io io io io io io io
*inevitable discovery* io
Fruit of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine - (correct answer) -A legal principle that excludes from
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
introduction at trial any evidence later developed as a result of an illegal search or seizure.
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
the prosecution must show on inevitable discovery: - (correct answer) -11th circuit standard
io io io io io io io io io io io io
1. the lawful means which made the discovery inevitable, were possessed by the police, and
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
2. were actively being pursued prior to the occurrence of the illegal conduct
io io io io io io io io io io io io
attenuate - (correct answer) -to reduce in force or degree; to weaken
