If the evidence was seized before the search warrant was executed, it may be considered to be obtained illegally, and therefore inadmissible in court. This is because the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution requires that search warrants be supported by probable cause, and that the warrant be executed in a reasonable manner. If the evidence was seized before the warrant was executed, it could be argued that the warrant was not supported by probable cause or that the warrant was not executed in a reasonable manner. However, whether the evidence is inadmissible in court would depend on the specific circumstances of the case. There are some exceptions to the warrant requirement, such as plain view or exigent circumstances, that could make the evidence admissible even if it was seized before the warrant was executed. It's also possible that there was an error in the date on the report or that the search warrant was executed on June 6th but the report was written on June 7th. The best way to determine the admissibility of the evidence is to consult with a criminal defense attorney.
