- Abstract
The article presents information on judicial decision for case related to constitutional law. The New Mexico State v. Barela states that evidence of the correspondence of tracks of defendants, made by them under compulsion of the sheriff, with those found at the scene of the alleged crime of arson and leading therefrom, and evidence of the fitting of the shoes of defendants, taken from them by the sheriff, into tracks found at the scene of the crime, is not inadmissible, as violative of the constitutional guaranty against compulsory self-incrimination. The privilege protects a person from any disclosure sought by legal process against him as a witness. The fact that evidence is the result of an unlawful search of seizure, or is obtained by force or intimidation by private persons or officers, when not under sanction of judicial process, ordinarily has no effect whatever upon its admissibility.
