The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Allard, 600 F.2d 1301 (9th Cir. 1979):
The legal determination that evidence was tainted must rest on specific factual findings. Because the question of taint was not fully explored below, we must remand for resolution of the remaining factual questions. In applying the law to the facts, the court need not find that the evidence was tainted if information gained from the illegal entry merely intensified an investigation that had already focused on Room 611. United States v. Cella, 568 F.2d 1266, 1285-86 (9th Cir. 1977).
