#4 Mapp v. Ohio

Relitigated

Show Notes

In this episode we re-argue the Supreme Court case Mapp v. Ohio.

One evening, police arrived at the home of DM and demanded to be let in to conduct a search. After calling her lawyer, DM declined to allow police to enter her home without a search warrant. Police eventually broke down her door and searched her home despite not having a search warrant. DM was later tried and convicted for possession of obscene material. She appealed her conviction.

The question before the court: are state courts subject to the same constitutional requirements as the federal courts?

This is episode 3 of a 3-part series on the development of the Exclusionary Rule.
