Which Supreme Court ruling applied the principles developed in Weeks v US to trials in state courts?
Mapp v. Ohio, (1961) applied the exclusionary rule developed in Weeks v. US, (1914) to the States. In Weeks, the Supreme Court held that federal courts could not use evidence obtained illegally by violating the defendant's Fourth Amendment rights to prosecute the person. Such evidence had to be excluded (hence, the "exclusionary" rule) at trial.
