As part of our look at criminal investigations, we discussed the importance of following the law when obtaining information with evidentiary value. In 400 words, explain the exclusionary rule and the “fruit of the forbidden tree” doctrine introduced in the US Supreme Court case Silverthorne Lumber v US. The starting information is in Course Material under “Exclusionary Rule.” Feel free to do further research. Cite materials, no personal opinion. This is like a mini-term paper, not just quick commentary.
