Professor Harston was on one today!


I just took a test for my Constititutional Rights and Responsibilities test. One question was:

42. The essence of a provision forbidding the acquisition of evidence by the prosecution illegally is that not merely evidence so acquired shall not be used before the Court but that it shall not be used at all...unless knowledge of them is gained from an independent source, free from the original taint of wrongdoing.
a) Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. U.S.
b) Aguilar v. Texas
c) Miller v. U.S.
d) Payton v. New York
e) Spinelli v. U.S.

Whoa, were I less of a man, that wording would make me cry.

Bonus Points to whoever chooses the correct answer.
