State v. (Client)
Jul 10, 2013OUTCOME: Discharged at preliminary hearing, decision upheld in District Court
Police gained entry to home without warrant by threatening to break down door because they smelled marijuana; defense objected to the search and the Court suppressed evidence recovered during search. ... The defense argued that the search was invalid under Howe v. State, a Nevada Supreme Court decision, in which the Court found that the mere hypothetical concerns about evidence destruction does not justify warrantless forced entry into a home. The District Court upheld the decision in favor of the defense.
