Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Does the independent source exception to the exclusionary rule, like all other exclusionary rule exceptions, take into account the flagrancy and deliberate nature of the underlying Fourth Amendment violation? 2. Recently, Congress passed and the President signed the First Step Act of 2018. Part of the Act lowered the mandatory minimum for many drug offenses. It also 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. Should the Court grant the petition, vacate the judgment below, and remand to the Seventh Circuit to consider whether the First Step Act applies to cases still on direct appeal?
