United States v. Cameron Smith

Summary

The court affirmed Smith’s convictions and upheld the denial of suppression because the corrected affidavit established probable cause and the challenged evidence would have been inevitably discovered through an independent investigation. It also held that Smith waived his challenge to restitution and that the government did not breach the plea agreement. The court vacated the prison sentence because the district court improperly applied an upward guideline departure without evidence that Smith intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, and remanded for resentencing.
