requested pictures counsel government noted multitude pictures stated might difficult identify shown particular witnesses however indicated government willing furnish pictures found district referring

attempt pictures produced prior trial pursuant fed rule crim proc production pictures sought trial defense explain needed simply argued production required moreover strength eyewitness identifications simmons renders highly unlikely nonproduction photographs caused prejudice iii order effectuate fourth amendment guarantee freedom unreasonable searches seizures long ago conferred upon defendants federal prosecutions right upon motion proof excluded trial evidence secured means unlawful search seizure weeks recently held exclusionary rule essential part fourth fourteenth amendments mapp ohio however also held rights assured fourth amendment personal rights may enforced exclusion evidence instance one whose protection infringed search seizure see jones one time defendant wished assert fourth amendment objection required show owner possessor seized property possessory interest searched premises part avoid resolve issue presented case relaxed standing requirements two alternative ways jones supra first held jones possession seized evidence essential element offense defendant charged government precluded denying defendant requisite possessory interest challenge admission evidence second held alternatively defendant need possessory interest searched premises order standing sufficient legitimately premises search occurs throughout case petitioner garrett justifiably without challenge government proceeded assumption standing requirements must satisfied premise contends testimony given defendant meet requirements admissible trial question guilt innocence agree standing rules set jones occasions even prosecutions nonpossessory offenses defendant testimony needed establish standing case serves example garrett evidently mahon house time suitcase seized basement least natural way found standing object admission suitcase testify owner thus testimony regarded integral part fourth amendment exclusion claim rule laid courts give testimony assuming risk testimony later admitted trial testimony kind links defendant evidence government considers important enough seize seek admitted trial must often highly prejudicial defendant case serves example garrett admitted ownership suitcase hours robbery found contain money wrappers taken victimized bank undoubtedly strong piece evidence without testimony government might found hard prove owner suitcase dilemma faced defendants like garrett extreme prosecutions possessory crimes testimony required standing proves element offense eliminated hobson choice jones supra relaxing standing requirements never considered squarely question whether defendants charged nonpossessory crimes like garrett entitled relieved dilemma entirely lower courts considered matter jones two exceptions agreed holdings courts defendant testimony may admitted motion suppress failed reasoning courts seem suggest testimony admissible even motion suppress succeeded actually decided question held motion suppress succeeds testimony given support excludable fruit unlawful search rationale admitting testimony motion fails testimony voluntarily given relevant therefore entitled admission basis prior testimony admission party seems obvious defendant knows testimony may admissible trial sometimes deterred presenting testimonial proof standing necessary assert fourth amendment claim likelihood inhibition greatest testimony known admissible regardless outcome motion suppress even jurisdictions admissibility testimony depends upon outcome motion deterrent effect marginal cases estimated confidence whether motion succeed since claims depend heavily upon individual facts since law search seizure state flux incidence marginal cases said negligible circumstances defendant substantial claim exclusion evidence may conclude admission evidence together government proof linking preferable risking admission testimony connecting seized evidence rule adopted courts merely impose upon defendant condition may deter asserting fourth amendment objection imposes condition kind always peculiarly sensitive defendant wishes establish standing must risk words utters may later used incriminate courts allowed admission testimony given establish standing reasoned violation fifth amendment clause testimony voluntary abstract matter may well true defendant compelled testify support motion suppress sense refrains testifying forgo benefit testimony always involuntary matter law simply given obtain benefit however assumption underlies reasoning defendant choice may refuse testify give benefit assumption applied situation benefit gained afforded another provision bill rights undeniable tension created thus case garrett obliged either give believed advice counsel valid fourth amendment claim legal effect waive fifth amendment privilege circumstances find intolerable one constitutional right surrendered order assert another therefore hold defendant testifies support motion suppress evidence fourth amendment grounds testimony may thereafter admitted trial issue guilt unless makes objection foregoing reasons affirm judgment appeals far relates petitioner simmons reverse
