The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Julius Omega Scott, Defendant-Appellee

Summary

The court held that the affidavits supporting the first and second search warrants could be considered together even though the second affidavit did not expressly incorporate the first. Viewed collectively and under the totality of the circumstances, the affidavits provided a substantial basis for finding probable cause to search for evidence of dog fighting, so suppression of the evidence seized under the second warrant was improper. Justice Eid, concurring in the judgment, would have affirmed the result on the good-faith exception rather than deciding actual probable cause.
