MADISON, Wis (MetroSource) The Wisconsin Supreme Court is overturning a Circuit Court decision regarding the suppression of physical evidence in a murder case.
In a ruling Friday the high court said a knife and bloody clothing can be admitted in the case against Mastella Jackson. She is accused of killing her husband at the Grand Chute Hotel in Appleton in 2012.
The evidence had been suppressed because the trial court ruled Jackson’s constitutional rights had been violated because she wasn’t properly read her Miranda rights. But the Supreme Court affirmed the appellate court decision that the evidence be allowed because police searching the house would have inevitably found the knife and clothing.
