The Michigan Daily - Friday, July 6, 1984 - Page 7 Court weakens 'exclusionary rule' WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court yesterday, concluding its 1983-84 term, weakened a rule aimed at deterring police misconduct by allowing evidence seized by authorities with defective court warrants to be used at criminal trials. The 6-3 decision marks the first time since 1914 that the nation's highest court has narrowed the "exclusionary rule" to permit exceptions based on the good faith of police officers who believed they did nothing wrong. THE COURT said that when judges or magistrates make mistakes that violate a defendant's rights - and police reasonably rely on those court actions - the exclusionary rule generally should not come into play. "The marginal or non-existent benefits produced by suppressing evidence obtained in objectively reasonable reliance on a subsequently invalidated search warrant cannot justify the substantial cost of ex- clusion," Justice Byron White wrote for the court. But one of the dissenting justices, William Brennan, was sharply critical of the decision. "It now appears the court's victory over the Fourth Amen- dment protecting against unreasonable police searches and seizures is com- plete," Brennan said. ALTHOUGH THE decision is limited to those occasions in which police get court warrants, its wording could lead lower courts to apply it to situations in which police acted in the reasonable - but wrong - opinion that no warrant was needed. Evidence seized in such warrantless searches someday also might come under the good faith exception created yesterday. But even in its limited form, the decision marks a major victory for the Reagan administration and law enfor- cement agencies nationwide that for years have blamed the exlusionary rule Draft-aid link is upheld (Continued from Page 1) wealth, sex, and race.

THE COURT ordered school officials in Irving, Texas, to provide the service to Amber Tatro, 8, who was born with the disease spina bifida which prevents her from voluntarily emptying her bladder. Such services "that permit a child to remain at school during the day are no less-related to the effort to educate than are services that enable the child to reach, enter or exit the school," said Chief Justice Warren Burger for the court. 4 But in a related opinion, the court denied legal expenses to those - like Amber's parents - who win suits to force school officials to provide education or school tuition for the han- dicapped.

If some part of that body could give another child even an extension of life, that recipient might be able to enjoy life as Sean had," the boy's father said. Sean is the youngest known heart donor. The boy's liver, kidneys, and corneas were also removed for transplantation. A medical team from Tennessee removed the liver and implanted it in a patient in Tennessee. "Our hope is that by having a part of Sean inside them, the various recipients will have at least the three short years Sean had, and perhaps a lifetime full of love and enthusiasm for life.
