- “It is well settled that illegal arrest or detention of a suspect does not void a subsequent conviction.” (citing Gerstein v. Pugh, 420 U.S. 103, 119 (1975))
- claim that arrest was illegal because 5 warrant was defective, and thus the petitioner’s statements made incident to the 6 arrest should be excluded, held to be barred by Stone v. Powell
