If you consider this to be a case of voiding the First Amendment, you'll also be interested to know that the First Amendment is also voided in the case of giving jurors relevant information in the middle of a court case.

- csense 14y ago> giving jurors relevant information Courts have rules of evidence, which are largely to protect the rights of the accused. Particularly rights against unlawful search and seizure. If it relates to a case, and the jury's going to hear it, it has to go through the proper process for evidence. Basically, the lawyers for both sides have a chance to tell the judge whether there's a legal reason the evidence should be excluded, and the judge can decide whether there's a legal basis for excluding the evidence from what the jury will consider.
