Williams case raises rights questions in body discovery dispute
Justice Department lawyer Kathryn Oberly urged that independently obtained evidence should not prompt police misconduct concerns.

The Court may send the Williams case back to the Eighth Circuit for rehearing with a decision due this spring.
