SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In Constitutional Exclusion, Professor James J. Tomkovicz discusses the exclusionary rules which prevent evidence of a criminal defendant's guilt from being introduced at trial. These rules incite strong, often hostile reactions from the public. This understandable antipathy toward evidentiary suppression is, to some extent, attributable to a misunderstanding of the reasons why our legal system suppresses probative evidence of guilt. In this book, Professor Tomkovicz describes and discusses the natures and the purposes of the seven different constitutional exclusion mandates. His in-depth examinations and analyses of exclusionary rule histories, foundations, objectives, and doctrines dispel some of the critical misconceptions and flawed assumptions that surround the rules and prevent appreciation of their significant roles in enforcing fundamental rights"--Provided by publisher.
