U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3750
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law. Two week period between controlled buy
and issuance of a search warrant did not render the informant's
information presumptively stale; totality of the evidence supported
conclusion that defendant was involved in illegal drug activities and that
evidence of his crime would be found at his address; because defendant
was in state custody, the provisions of Rule 5(a) of the Federal Rules of
Criminal Procedure did not apply to the delay in his arraignment;
defendant's right to a speedy trial under the Sixth Amendment was not
violated; no error in allowing expert testimony from a police officer
concerning the drug trade significance of some of the items seized from
defendant's house,
