That’s exactly right. It’s the facts of the case of Mapp v. Ohio.
Cops were looking for the boyfriend and evidence of numbers running. They forced the door and came in without a warrant and arrested her for pornography. It was in a box in the basement, she didn’t even know it was there.
The statute they charged her under, I forgot the exact amount of time, but nobody had been charged under it in like twenty years or something.
Jury convicted her in twenty minutes for the porn.
The liberal Supreme Court of the day that gave us most of our civil rights, the Earl Warren Court, reversed her conviction based on the illegal, warrantless search.
The whole thing was a ploy to get her to testify against her boyfriend, which she ultimately refused to do before her case got tossed out. They didn’t care about the porn, it was pretextual.
