First, In the referenced case in
the OP, the mother didn't suspect anything illegal UNTIL SHE BROKE THE LAW
HERSELF.

And you'll notice that the courts took no action against her. They just
threw
out her testimony. Can you figure out why that is?


Because the courts (judges, really) don't bring criminal charges against
anyone unless said criminal activity happens in the court. (such as
"contempt of court" and similar). If the DA were to bring wiretapping
charges against the mom in question, I doubt the "court" would dismiss the
charges. The court ruled on whether the testimony of the mother was
admissible. The judge made the right ruling. Illegally obtained evidence
is not admissible. -Dave
