133085P.pdf   09/02/2014  United States  v.  Ronnie Whisenton
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3085
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Assuming for the purposes of this analysis 
   that the police officers' warrantless entry into defendant's home was not 
   justified by exigent circumstances and was a Fourth Amendment violation, 
   defendant's subsequent consent to search was an act of free will 
   sufficient to purge the taint of the claimed Fourth Amendment violation. 
   Judge Bye, dissenting.
