A homeless man mugs and kills, and gets convicted. A few weeks after, an appeal comes from them invoking the Fourth Amendment protecting people's right to privacy. Because the police extracting the murder weapon from the defendant's abode in the bushes of Central Park was without a warrant.
Good point: An interesting debate follows on whether the Fourth Amendment applies to the homeless since his "home" is a public property. Stone loses. However, in turn of events bringing another evidence in the picture, in the end Stone succeeds in striking a deal with the defendant's lawyer for manslaughter one charge.
