New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Leonardo Turriago, Respondent

May 13, 199790 N.Y.2d 77

Summary

The Court held that the Appellate Division erred in rejecting the inevitable discovery doctrine and remanded for further proceedings, allowing the doctrine’s application to secondary evidence derived from the illegal consent search. The Court also noted that the founded suspicion issue was unpreserved and therefore beyond review.
