In United States v. Leon (1984), the defendant, Alberto Leon, was not ultimately convicted based on the Supreme Court's ruling regarding the exclusionary rule. The Court held that evidence obtained through a search warrant later found to be faulty could still be admissible if the police acted in good faith, leading to the establishment of the "good faith exception." This decision allowed for the use of the evidence against Leon, but the case primarily focused on the legality of the search rather than the defendant's conviction status.
