The Supreme Court cases of U.S. v. Leon, Massachusetts v. Sheppard, and Nix v. Williams all address the issue of the exclusionary rule, which prevents the use of evidence obtained in violation of a defendant's Fourth Amendment rights. Each case introduces exceptions to this rule, such as the good faith exception in Leon and Sheppard, and the inevitable discovery doctrine in Nix v. Williams. Collectively, they aim to balance the protection of constitutional rights with the practicalities of law enforcement and the pursuit of justice.
