Actually it will be a Petition to SCOTUS.
Appeals from a state’s highest court go directly over to SCOTUS.
If they take a hard look at this I do think it is a good chance to revisit the Independent Source Doctrine.
The ruling was based on shaky SCOTUS precedent, and the court completely ignored the Texas law and Constitution which actually grant more protections than the 4th Amendment alone.
I’m a Texas defense attorney and former prosecutor.
This ruling cannot be allowed to stand. The opportunity for abuses by cops was bad enough before this ruling.
Lots of people are going to be the victims of illegal fishing expeditions in the form of raids.
God help us.
