Who won th court case U.S. v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897?

Answer 1

The United States

United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897 (1984) was a landmark case in the area of U.S. criminal procedure, in which the United States Supreme Court decided that evidence obtained by way of a defective search warrant is admissible at trial, so long as, the warrant was obtained in "good-faith" and the officer had "reasonable grounds for believing that the warrant was properly issued."

In his dissent, Justice Brennan argues that the Majority is misguided, because the admission of evidence after an illegal search is in itself an act in violation of the Fourth Amendment. He contends that the exclusionary rule is based not on a "judicially fashioned remedial purpose" but upon a "direct constitutional command," to which arguments of deterrent effects are irrelevant.
