Huskisson v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on February 24, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether the independent-source exception to the
exclusionary rule, like all other exclusionary rule
exceptions, takes into account the flagrancy and
deliberate nature of the underlying Fourth
Amendment violation; and (2) whether the First Step Act of 2018, which lowered the mandatory minimum for many drug
offenses and retroactively applies “to any offense
that was committed before [December 21, 2018], if a
sentence for the offense has not been imposed as of”
that day, applies
to cases still on direct appeal.
