1.)Read the following case and answer the corresponding questions:

John was recently convicted by a jury of committing fraud against his employer. After the trial, it was revealed that some key evidence against John used in trial was obtained through his employer's records and John's workstation computer. Before searching John's computer, the investigators did not have any evidence or idea that John was involved in the fraud. In fact, they stumbled on the fraud by accident. He believes the evidence found on his work computer is inadmissible because the investigation did not have probable cause to search his computer.

QUESTIONS:

a) is John right on legal grounds that his rights were violated?

b) is John right in ethical grounds that he has not committed fraud because the proof of it may be inadmissible?

c) which ground would you use to solve this problem, the legal or the ethical, why?
