Hello guys,
U.S. justice used to be blind and justices of the Supreme Court used to be good lawyers. However if you look at the verdict in Mapp v. Ohio there is nothing that can persuade you that you are living in a normal and safe country. This verdict suppressed all evidence in criminal trials in state courts, which was obtained without a search warrant. The result of this verdict is that murderers and killers escape justice, are let free and live among us instead of in prisons, just because some policemen did not obtain a valid search warrant before collecting evidence. How ridiculous this law is can be seen in Collidge v. New Hampshire – a guy who killed 14 years old was set free because the evidence against him could not be presented in the court. Everybody is telling that the U.S. is a great country, is it really? It doesn’t seem so.
