U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-3916
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law. District court's finding that the officers
waited to conduct a search until they obtained a warrant was not plainly
erroneous; defendant consented to the officers' initial entry into the
home; documentation submitted in support of wire tap application
established necessity; government's operation of the wiretap was
objectively reasonable and met the requirement that officers minimize the
interception of nonrelevant conversations.
