U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1836
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in denying
defendant's request for a Franks hearing as defendant did not produce any
evidence to support his claim that the officer who supplied the search
warrant affidavit intended to omit facts to make the affidavit misleading
or that he omitted facts in reckless disregard of the fact that the
omissions would mislead; the facts that the source had a history of drug
use or compensation did not establish that the source's information is
unreliable.
