## Opinion text

Judge WELLS
dissenting.
I believe that defendant’s statements to Agent Bazemore were the result of the illegal entry into her home. The majority’s conclusion that she was wrongfully arrested either at that time or shortly thereafter strengthens my opinion that these statements were improperly obtained, and are tainted by these improprieties. I am not convinced that those factors relied on by the trial court and cited by the majority purge these statements of the primary taint. Therefore, I vote to grant a new trial.
