Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The legal principle that would apply to Adam's confession if the court ruled that the picture constituted entrapment is the "fruit of a poisoned tree" doctrine. This means that any evidence that is derived from an illegal or unconstitutional source is also inadmissible in court. If the picture was obtained through entrapment, then any confession made as a result of that picture would be considered "fruit of the poisoned tree" and would also be inadmissible in court.
