In Part 6 of our Top 10 Criminal Supreme Court Cases series, we break down the landmark case Mapp v. Ohio (1961) — the decision that applied the exclusionary rule to the states. This case is one of the most misunderstood in criminal law. How is Don King connected to this case? Was it really about obscenity? Did it create new rights for defendants? And what myths about illegal searches still confuse lawyers and the public today?
We’ll cover:
✅ The facts of Mapp v. Ohio
✅ Why the Supreme Court’s ruling changed criminal defense forever
✅ The truth about the exclusionary rule
✅ Common myths and misconceptions (and why they’re wrong)
✅ How this case still affects your rights today
In that case, this video will give you a clear and practical explanation of one of the most important Supreme Court decisions in U.S. history.
