How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that the act of pointing a gun at an officer after the officer illegally entered the appellant’s house was an independent crime that was not subject to suppression
- holding motion to suppress does not include holding a mini-trial on the sufficiency of the evidence to support an element of the offense
- holding evidence obtained from illegal arrest must be suppressed only when evidence was obtained “by exploitation of that illegality”
- concluding the exclusionary rule does not “provide limitless protection” for individual to commit subsequent independent criminal acts that are causally disconnected from alleged illegality by state agent
- holding the exclusionary rule principles do not apply to the offense of evading arrest
- stating “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine generally precludes the use of evidence obtained following an illegal arrest
