Cases that set a rule governing how a crime is investigated, prosecuted, defended or judged: confession and interrogation rights, the exclusionary rule for unlawfully obtained evidence, and defenses such as necessity. Belongs here: a ruling whose holding governs the criminal process itself. Does not belong here: a case about the constitutionality of a criminal statute's underlying subject matter rather than the process, which is classified by that subject instead.
