 Wolf v. Colorado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colorado, 338 U.S.) was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held 6-3 that the Fourteenth Amendment did not impose specific limitations on criminal justice in the states, and that illegally obtained evidence did not necessarily have to be excluded from trials in all cases.
In his dissent opinion, with which Justice Rutledge concurs, Associate Justice Frank Murphy takes issue with the majority opinion’s suggestion that there exist alternatives to the exclusionary rule.
Justice Rutledge concludes by saying that the Court makes “the illegality of this search and seizure its inarticulate premise of decision.” He concurs with this premise, and believes that the conviction should be reversed.

John Ferren, the author of a Rutledge's first biography, Salt of the Earth, Conscience of the Court: The Story of Justice Wiley Rutledge, will appear at the law school today to discuss his book with law faculty and former students of Rutledge - many of whom Ferren has interviewed.

Rutledge is one of the few justices appointed in Roosevelt's terms who didn't have a biography, said Ferren, who thought it was important to include Rutledge in Supreme Court literature.

 Salt Of The Earth, Conscience of the Court: The Story of Justice Wiley B. Rutledge.
Rutledge had a brief six-year tenure (1943-1949) on the High Court before dying of a cerebral hemorrhage at age fifty-five.
This was because Rutledge did not enjoy writing, was so methodical that his colleagues routinely asked him to drop sections from his opinions, and because he took so long to write the opinions he was assigned.
Ferren gives extensive treatment to Rutledge’s vigorous dissent in IN RE YAMASHITA (1946), in which he felt that Japanese General Tomoyuki Yamashita had not received a fair trial under the Constitution even though Yamashita was an enemy combatant prosecuted in a military tribunal on foreign soil.
