The doctrine referred to in the question is the independent source exception, which allows illegally seized evidence to be introduced at trial if it can be shown that the evidence was also discovered through a legal source independent of the illegal search or seizure. This means that even though the evidence may have been obtained illegally, it can still be admissible if it was later discovered through a separate and lawful means.
