Leroy Comer, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that the officers lacked the specific articulable facts necessary for reasonable suspicion, rendering the investigatory stop unlawful, and that the appellant's relinquishment of the syringe was not a voluntary abandonment because it resulted from illegal police conduct. Consequently, the heroin evidence was inadmissible, the lower courts' judgments were reversed, and the case was remanded to the trial court.
