Well you know......desperate times; desperate measures.

"The Third Circuit has held that "the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine does not apply to derivative evidence secured as a result of a voluntary statement obtained before Miranda warnings are issued."
No, your memory is correct. I just flipped Kim's "lack of evidence" argument on its head, without elaboration.

Thanks, mommya. It helps the full-picture-impaired people if they can see it side-by-side.
I am wondering, tho...and I may have missed it, but does the jury know that Dr. Faulkner was originally hired by the Prosecution?

I hardly think citing your cloistered forum as a flame-free zone indicates that those who participate over there are innocent of flame throwing over here.
Now, now. We don't want to make a conclusion based on accusations. After all, David Westerfield is accused of murder. The officers are to presumed innocent until proven guilty, too, no?
sw
.......you know, the vd's are guilty right? No trial yet!!!
Yes. Feldman drove that point very hard. He left no doubt that Faulkner was "their" guy.
From what I saw of that part of the testimony - Feldman hammered this point home during at least two seperate parts of his arguement. If I was a juror - I would have "gotten it" - now - I hope all the jurors are as brilliant as I am (ha ha.)
