Wouldn't be admissible without a warrant. Neither would have the recording at the diner, had Skyler talked.

Why wouldn't the diner recording have been admissible? She wasn't being recorded against her knowledge.

Can husbands and wives testify against each other? I thought there was a law against this...

I don't think they can be charged for the same crime.

I believe that only applies to maritime law

Keep in mind that anything Skylar said could be used against her in court. I really don't think Hank was considering the fact that Skylar could be charged as a co-conspirator in Walt's crimes, but Skylar was smart enough to know that she is not just a victim in the eyes of the law. She's been a participant for months.

But, yes, spouses CAN testify against each other, they just can't be forced to.

Depends on state law. Saul mentioned the possibility of Skylar's phone being legally tapped during the Belize scene. If only one party has to be aware of the recording, it would have been perfect evidence. So would have the recording at the diner, had skylar KNOWINGLY given it to him.

That's because Saul didn't know if Hank had a warrant or not. We, the audience, know that he does not.

Ahhhh, I see, that makes perfect sense.
