U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-2295
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Stras, Circuit
Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Warrant application to place a GPS tracker
on defendant's car established probable cause; the district court did not
err in denying defendant's request for a Franks hearing; nor did the court
err in denying his request to compel the disclosure of the identities of a
confidential informant and tipsters; evidence was sufficient to sustain
defendant's convictions for being a felon in possession and for possession
of drugs with intent to distribute; statements from defendant's recorded
post-arrest phone calls were properly admitted as his statements expressed
concern about the charges, which is admissible as direct consciousness of
guilt.
