State of Arkansas, Appellant v. Kendrick Robinson, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the State's interlocutory appeal was proper because the undisputed facts presented a purely legal issue important to the uniform administration of criminal law. On the merits, it held that executing a valid search warrant outside the issuing officers' territorial jurisdiction is not per se unreasonable merely because local law enforcement did not cooperate, and it reversed the suppression order. Justice Baker, joined by Justice Hart, dissented, arguing that the court lacked jurisdiction because the State's arguments were either unpreserved or involved a mixed question of law and fact.
