exclusionary rule in Virgin Islands

2015The independent source doctrine provides an exception to the exclusionary rule when the evidence to be admitted was obtained from a source independent of the illegal search, or where the “connection between the lawless conduct of the police and the discovery of the challenged evidence has become so attenuated as to dissipate the taint.” Id. at 256 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted); see Murray v. United States, 487 U.S. 533, 537 , 108 S. Ct. 2529 , 101 L.

2015“When evidence is obtained as a result of an unconstitutional search, the exclusionary rule requires that the fruits of that search be excluded from evidence at trial.” Simmonds v. People, 53 V.I. 549, 561 (V.I. 2010) (citing United States v. Zimmerman, 211 F.3d 426, 436 (3d Cir. 2002)).

2026The good faith exception. ¶ 21 As this Court has established, “when police act under a warrant that is invalid for lack of probable clause, the exclusionary rule does not apply if the police acted ‘in objectively reasonable reliance’ on the subsequently invalidated search warrant.” John, 52 V.I. at 261 (quoting Herring v. United States, 555 U.S. 135, 142 (2009)).

2009Under this exception, “when police act under a warrant that is invalid for lack of probable cause, the exclusionary rule does not apply if the police acted ‘in objectively reasonable reliance’ on the subsequently invalidated search warrant.” Herring v. United States, _ U.S. _, 129 S. Ct. 695, 701 , 172 L.

2008The exclusionary rule was later extended to the States in Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 , 81 S. Ct. 1684 , 6 L.

2008See generally Brown v. Illinois, 422 U.S. 590 , 95 S. Ct. 2254 , 45 L.

2008In Brown, although the Court held inadmissible statements made by the defendant after an illegal arrest, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, id. at 603 , 95 S. Ct. 2261 , the Court nevertheless expounded upon the difference between the Fourth and Fifth Amendment, particularly in the applicability of the exclusionary rule.

1987Further, the Supreme Court “has established that the ‘prime purpose’ of the exclusionary rule, if not the sole one, is to deter future unlawful police conduct.” United States v. Janis, 96 S.Ct. 3021, 3028 (1976), citing United States v. Calandra, 94 S.Ct. at 619 (1974).

1981While the Supreme Court recently has placed limitations on the use of the exclusionary rule in criminal proceedings in which a defendant’s guilt or innocence is found, United States v. Janis, 428 U.S. 433 (1976); Stone v. Powell, 428 U.S. 465 (1976); and United States' v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338 (1974), and has rejected extension of the exclusionary rule beyond criminal trials, this court does not glean from these recent decisions any rationale that would support a conclusion that the exclusionary rule is inapplicable to juvenile prosecutions.

2026See /llinois v. Krull, 480 U.S. 340, 347 (1987).

2025See United States v. Bradley, 959 F.3d 551, 557 (3rd Cir. 2020) (the inevitable discovery exception applies when the prosecution submits “testimony regarding standard practices” and routine police procedures into evidence demonstrating that such routine procedures would inevitably have uncovered the evidence in question).

2015Id. at 263 (an illegal search “can and should be deterred by excluding the fruits of the illegal search”); Castillo v. People, 59 V.I. 240, 255-56 (V.I. 2013).

2015The independent source doctrine provides an exception to the exclusionary rule when the evidence to be admitted was obtained from a source independent of the illegal search, or where the “connection between the lawless conduct of the police and the discovery of the challenged evidence has become so attenuated as to dissipate the taint.” Id. at 256 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted); see Murray v. United States, 487 U.S. 533, 537 , 108 S. Ct. 2529 , 101 L.

2014Ed. 2d 339 (2001) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted), a better reading would be to construe Congress’s inclusion of first-degree murder as an example of the category of capital offenses for which the right to bail could be denied, particularly as the opposite reading would have rendered — at least prior to the abolishment of the death penalty — section 3’s exclusionary language superfluous since “any capital offense” necessarily included “first-degree murder.” Accordingly, because concluding that a defendant detained under section 3 can never be bailable pending trial would be con

2013Ed. 2d 268 (1978); United States v. Shetler, 665 F.3d 1150, 1157 (9th Cir. 2011) (“The exclusionary rule applies both to direct products of an illegal search — i.e., the physical evidence found during the search itself — and to indirect products of the illegal search — i.e., statements or physical evidence subsequently obtained in part as a result of the search . . . .”) Consequently, “verbal evidence which derives so immediately from an unlawful entry and an unauthorized arrest... is no less the ‘fruit’ of official illegality than the more common tangible fruits of the unwarranted intrusion.”

2013However, the United States Supreme Court has opined that the exclusionary rule has no application where the verbal or tangible evidence was obtained from an “independent source” or where the “connection between the lawless conduct of the police and the discovery of the challenged evidence has become so attenuated as to dissipate the taint.” Id. at 487 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted); see United States v. Noriega, 676 F.3d 1252, 1260 (11th Cir. 2012).

2013State v. Harris, 199 Wis. 2d 227 , 544 N.W.2d 545, 553 (1996) (emphasizing that the “procedure” required by Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477 , 101 S. Ct. 1880 , 68 L.

2013The court, however, concluded that since the legislature’s “intent [was] to require a minimum of protection to any party who is not a party to the contract... the exclusionary clause in question has the effect of limiting the insurer’s liability to an innocent victim who was not a party to the contract. . . [and is] violative of the public policy embodied.” Id. at 1088.

2013The Young court thus struck down the exclusionary endorsement contained in the insurance policy on the grounds that “the .. . clause would have the effect of limiting the liability of the insurer to an innocent victim of the negligent operation of the insured vehicle .... [and] provisions of our compulsory liability insurance legislation ... contain[] no indications of an intent to allow any differentiation as to coverage available to any victim of an insured vehicle’s operation or use.” Id. (emphasis omitted).

2013Ed. 2d 441 (1963)). “[T]he Supreme Court made clear that in determining the ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’ question, we ask ‘whether, granting establishment of the primary illegality, the evidence to which instant objection is made has been come at by exploitation of that illegality or instead by means sufficiently distinguishable to be purged of the primary taint.’ ” United States v. Perez, 506 Fed.
