The primary result of Mapp v. Ohio, (1961) was that the US Supreme Court incorporated the Fourth Amendment to the States and applied the Exclusionary Rule originally established in Weeks v. US, (1914). The Exclusionary Rule prohibits the prosecution from using evidence obtained illegally (in this case, as the result of wrongful search and seizure) to convict the defendant.

Dollree Mapp won her US Supreme Court case, Mapp v. Ohio,(1961), by a vote of 6-3, and her conviction for possession of pornography was vacated, ending the seven-year prison sentence Ohio imposed in 1958.
Although Mapp's attorney argued originally argued the Ohio law under which Mapp was convicted was unconstitutional because it was overbroad and infringed on her First Amendment rights, the Supreme Court ultimately decided the case on the basis of a Fourth Amendment search and seizure violation, incorporating that Amendment to the states and extending the federal "exclusionary rule" to prohibit illegally obtained evidence from being used against the defendant in court.

∙ 13y agoDolree Mapp won in the Mapp v. Ohio case.
In Mapp v. Ohio, 367 US 643 (1961),decided June 19th, 1961, the case was decided in Mapp's favor by a vote of 6 to 3, holding that the states could not use "evidence obtained by searches and seizures in violation of the Federal Constitution is inadmissible in a criminal trial in a state court." The US Supreme Court decision reversed the Supreme Court of Ohio decision supporting Ohio statutes, and vacated Mapp's conviction.
The Supreme Court applied the Exclusionary Rule developed from the Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure Clause to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause.
The Court modified and created exceptions to the Exclusionary Rule in the years following Mapp.
