U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1109
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court erred in suppressing
defendant's post-arrest statements as there was not a sufficient nexus
between the constitutional violation requiring suppression of a search (a
recklessly untrue warrant affidavit) and defendant's statements two days
later; among the factors supporting that conclusion are the facts that
defendant received Miranda warnings, two days had passed, the agent who
took the statements was from a separate law enforcement agency not
connected to the violation and the initial violation was unintentional.
