Syllabus

A person standing in an open doorway is in a public place and may be arrested without a warrant permitting entry into the home. Investigatory stops are justified if there is reasonable and articulable suspicion a person has committed or is about to commit a crime. Evidence should not be suppressed or excluded as fruit of the poisonous tree unless the alleged illegality is at least a but-for cause of obtaining the evidence.
