New York v. Harris

With probable cause to believe Bernard Harris (defendant) committed a murder, police entered his home without a warrant or consent and arrested him; Harris made an admission at home after Miranda warnings, was taken to the station where he repeated the warnings and signed a written confession, and later gave a videotaped statement to a district attorney even after asking to stop. The trial court suppressed the in-home admission and the videotape but admitted the written station-house confession, and Harris was convicted; an intermediate appellate court affirmed, but New York's highest court reversed, finding the illegal home entry tainted the written confession, prompting the U.S. Supreme Court to grant review.
