OUTCOME: Defendant's sentence of life in prison was significantly reduced.
Defendant had been sentenced to life in prison by Trial Court. Attorney Rengel handled and won the appeal. Court Allowed defendant to file a motion to review sentence. Defendant sentence reduced.
OUTCOME: Reversed on Appeal
A Superior Court judge properly determined that an initial warrantless entry by police officers and the subsequent search of the criminal defendant's apartment for occupants was not permissible where, ... although the police officers clearly had a right to control the premises from the outside until a search warrant was obtained, they had no basis for believing that immediate entry was necessary to prevent the destruction of evidence, absent any indication whatsoever that the dwelling was occupied at the time; and where an officer easily could have been stationed at the door to secure the apartment while another proceeded to obtain a warrant.
