State of Oregon, Respondent on Review v. Bonnie Lou Walker, Petitioner on Review

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court held that defendant preserved her argument that police exceeded a premises-search warrant by searching her purse. It nevertheless affirmed because, when evidence is obtained under a warrant, the defendant bears the burden of proving the search unlawful, and the record did not establish facts necessary to show that the purse fell outside the warrant's authority. The court declined to decide which test governs searches of personal effects belonging to guests or visitors.
