I'd like to see the condition of the door and door jamb before I make up my mind. If the door has a sizable hole where the ram beat it in and the jamb has detached from the wall, I would have to side with Zito.

If the door is unmarked and Zito's mom did give the cops the key, then I side with the cops.

But I gotta wonder...why would the state suppress evidence to the jury?

This is how I interpret this one: Consider first that the badge doesn't give a cop the athority to commit a felony. Second, let's say someone that wasn't a cop convinced your mom to give him the keys (he convinced her he was a friend of your's). Even if he uses the key, he's commiting a felony breaking and entering. This would be the same if the door to your house was left open (which would be a stupid thing to do in the first place, but it doesn't lower the felony charge of unallowed entry). Plus consider the key didn't do much good at the first door.
