    504 - Criminal Procedures - Trial and Exclusionary Rules

    Welcome to the BarPass™ Podcast — the 10-minute bar prep podcast by BarPass.io. In this episode, we’re covering Trial and the Exclusionary Rule, two high-yield Criminal Procedure topics that test both what happens when the government obtains evidence illegally and the constitutional protections that apply once a criminal case reaches trial. Over the next few minutes, we’ll walk through: the Exclusionary Rule and its limitationsthe Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrineindependent source, inevitable discovery, and intervening acts of free willthe Good Faith Exception and harmless errorthe prosecution’s duty to disclose exculpatory evidencethe right to a jury trial and an impartial jurythe Sixth Amendment right to counsel and ineffective assistance of counselthe right to confront witnesses the burden of proof at a criminal trial These rules can get tricky because finding a constitutional violation is often only the beginning of the analysis. You also need to ask: What is the remedy? Is the evidence actually excluded? And does an exception allow it to come in anyway? As you listen, focus on the exceptions and distinctions that determine whether evidence is admissible, as well as the constitutional protections that govern the defendant’s trial. Let’s get started.

    503 - Criminal Procedures - Confession, Right to Counsel and Miranda Warnings

    Welcome to the BarPass™ Podcast — the 10-minute bar prep podcast by BarPass.io. In this episode, we’re covering Confessions, Right to Counsel, and Miranda Rights - three closely related Criminal Procedure topics that frequently appear together on the bar exam. Over the next few minutes, we’ll walk through: when a confession is considered voluntarythe critical stages at which a defendant is entitled to right to counselMiranda warnings and when they are requiredThese rules can get tricky because the Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to counsel operate differently. A major part of solving these questions is identifying which constitutional protection applies, when it attaches, and what the police may do after a suspect invokes a right. As you listen, focus especially on the trigger for Miranda: custodial interrogation - and remember that invocation, waiver, and reinitiation of questioning each have their own rules.
