I am not a lawyer, but I read the filing and none of this seems related to his guilt or innocence. Rather, it seems to argue that law enforcement violated his rights and that prosecution evidence should not have been admitted.

That's related to guilt in the American system. Evidence obtained illegally can't be used to convict. This is also why parallel construction wrong - it illegally routes around this concept.
