Question 1

Officer Drew knocks on Slick's door and asks Slick if he can search his house. Slick asks if Drew has a warrant and Drew responds that he does not. They talk for a few more minutes and Slick reluctantly lets Drew in. While in the house, Drew sees a note on the kitchen table that says "Slick: Meet me at the corner of Elm and Seventh at 6 tonight; I've got some great dope for you, Dopey." Drew goes to that corner at that time and observes Dopey and Slick engage in an illegal drug transaction. He then places Slick and Dopey under arrest. At the time of the arrest, Drew searches Slick and finds an illegal handgun in his pocket. At Slick's trial, the government introduces the drugs and the gun into evidence against Slick. The defense objects to both. What should the judge do?

Question 2

Frank and Jesse are teenage pranksters who enjoy giving people a fright. One day, they stage a fake fight in a public building with lots of people around. While wrestling, one of the boys accidentally bumps into the elderly Mrs. Crane. Mrs. Crane is uninjured, but the boys are arrested for battery and later are found guilty. Judge Stone decides to make an example of the two. He sentences the boys to a juvenile detention center until they reach the age of majority, and then to be transferred to prison for a period of 7 years. What is the best argument that Frank and Jesse could make to help their cause?
