Does the exclusionary rule apply to suppress evidence obtained from an illegal search?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Castillo, 28 F.3d 108 (9th Cir. 1994):
Coloma contends that the district court erred when it declined to suppress evidence obtained from a government investigation as the fruit of an illegal interrogation. She specifically argues that the district court erred when it applied the independent source exception to the exclusionary rule. The independent source doctrine permits the admission of evidence that is found by legal means unrelated to the illegal search. United States v. Ramirez-Sandoval, 872 F.2d 1392, 1396 (9th Cir.1989).
