Supreme Court of Arkansas

State of Arkansas, Appellant v. Jason Sprenger, Appellee

April 21, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 145

Summary

The court dismissed the State's interlocutory appeal because the challenged probable-cause determination depended on the facts of the particular warrant application rather than presenting a legal question with widespread ramifications. It likewise dismissed the State's good-faith argument because whether officers acted in good faith was a mixed question of law and fact. The court therefore did not decide whether the warrants were invalid or whether the evidence was admissible under an exception to the exclusionary rule.
