Ismael Casillas, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent. — Samour, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Samour dissented from the majority's decision to apply the exclusionary rule to DNA evidence obtained after a juvenile probation officer mistakenly interpreted the governing statute. He would have concluded that the mistake was objectively reasonable and that suppression would not deter sufficiently culpable or recurring misconduct. Justice Samour would therefore have affirmed the court of appeals' judgment.
