The "fruit of the poisonous tree" is a legal doctrine that prohibits the use in a criminal trial of any evidence that was obtained by means of an illegal arrest, an unauthorized search or from an illegal interrogation by any law enforcement body.
"The fruit of the poisonous tree" is therefore a metaphor. The illegal arrest, search and interrogation would be the poisonous tree. The evidence derived by any of those means would be the fruit from the poisonous tree.

The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson was important because it established the legal doctrine of "separate but equal," allowing for racial segregation in public facilities. This decision upheld racial discrimination and perpetuated the idea of white supremacy, leading to widespread segregation and systemic racism for decades to come. It was later overturned by the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954.

A suitable headline reporting the result of the US Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education could be: "Supreme Court Declares Racial Segregation in Public Schools Unconstitutional." This reflects the landmark ruling that overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson and marked a significant step towards desegregation in American education.
