2007Nix v. Williams, supra, 467 U. S. at 444, n. 4 . 3 The return of the executed search warrant lists as one of the items seized pursuant to the search warrant from the motel room “1 wooden cotton swab containing suspected blood from door handle.” Since that piece of evidence was not seized during the warrantless search but was seized pursuant to a valid search warrant based upon information wholly independent of the illegal entry, it is subject to the “independent source” doctrine and meets the criteria for admissibility thereunder.
