U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-3775
Western District of Missouri
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with McMillian and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law. Breach of screen door, which occurred
only two seconds after officers knocked and announced, was an
unreasonable search; however, the second search, when officers entered
the house through a solid inner door after waiting ten seconds and in
response to sounds of running in the house, was lawful, and the evidence
seized following entry through the second door was admissible.
