Charges Dismissed
After filing a motion to suppress evidence obtained as the result of a search warrant, Chris challenged probable cause for issuance of the search warrant in the Calloway Circuit Court. Following a hearing, it was proven the affidavit for the search warrant contained a material misstatement of fact and excluded other material information. The Calloway Circuit Court ruled the misstatement and the excluded information, if known by the judge that issued the search warrant, would not have resulted in probable cause and the search warrant should not have been issued. As a result, the court suppressed all of the evidence obtained after the search warrant was executed and the charges against our client were dismissed.
