1. Dollree Mapp was convicted of having obscene materials after police illegally searched her house for a fugitive.. She appealed her conviction on the basis of freedom of expression.
2. Were the materials protected by the first amendment? 
3. The court dismissed the first amendment issue and decided that "all evidence obtained by searches and seizures in violation of the Constitution is, by [the Fourth Amendment], inadmissible in a state court." Mapp was convicted on the basis of evidence that was illegally obtained. 
4. The outcome of this case led the Court on the course of determining how and when to apply the exclusionary rule. This makes it required to exclude illegally obtained evidence from court at all levels of the government.

Well there had been KKK meetings all over the U.S. and was not a new idea. The time period was 1969 and was right after the Civil Rights movements ended for blacks. New laws had been made  to protect African Americans.
2. The sides of the case were people part of the KKK or were racist saying that is was illegal to arrest him since he had protection under the first amendment. The other side were people against spreading hate for African Americans and also that Africans did not feel safe.
3. The Supreme court found him innocent because the Ohio law violated his free speech protected under the first amendment.
4.  You are allowed to say what you want as long as it does not incite lawless actions so if blacks were killed as a result of his speech he would have been found guilty.]]> 2017-03-31 15:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/m_j_ryan724/85j5h0tl0chx/wish/164005988 https://padlet.com/m_j_ryan724/85j5h0tl0chx/wish/164006303 1.Rev. Martin Luther King's  campaign  led up to this event.
2.L. B. Sullivan, the Montgomery city commissioner, filed a libel action against the newspaper and four black ministers who were listed as endorsers of the ad encouraging blacks to vote because it affected him personally. And under the Alabama law Sullivan did not have to prove that he had been harmed.
3. Sullivan won a $500,000 judgement
4. I think the outcome of this decision brought more attention to showing proof in court.

Clarence Gideon was arrested for a misdemeanor offense, after breaking and entering with the intent to commit a misdemeaner. When Gideon attempted to receive a court appointed counsel, the court denied his right based on Florida state law. After he was convicted, he attempted a petition for a writ of habeus corpus, but this was rejected by the Florida Supreme Court, and he appealed to the federal supreme court.
2. Gideon appealed that the court that found him guilty was violating his right to an attorney, but the court ruled that his offence was not a capitol offense, so he did not have the right to a court-appointed lawyer
3. The supreme court ruled in favor of Gideon, reversing his sentence and overturning the previous ruling against him.
4. Gideon was freed from his sentence after the ruling that the court should have appointed him a lawyer, and assuring the right to an attorney for all people who are tried, even in lesser courts/crimes
