2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“Under the inevitable discovery rule, evidence illegally CT Page 1425-ax secured in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights need not be suppressed if the state demonstrates by a preponderance of the evidence that the evidence would have been ultimately discovered by lawful means. [ Nix v. Williams , 467 U.S. 431 , 444 , 104 S.Ct. 2501 , 81 L.Ed.2d 377 (1984).] To qualify for admissibility the state must demonstrate that the lawful means which made discovery inevitable were possessed by the police and were being actively pursued prior to the occurrence of the constitutional violation. United States v. Cherry , 759 F.2d 827 , 846 (11 th Cir. 1985). In Nix v. Williams , supra, 443, the United States Supreme Court observed that the operation of the exclusionary rule in situations where the police would have inevitably discovered the evidence by legal means already initiated would put the state in a worse position than it would have been in if no police misconduct had transpired. Fairness can be assured by placing the State and the accused in the same positions they would have been in had the impermissible conduct not taken place. Id., 447. State v. Badgett [supra, 200 Conn. 433 ].”
