The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Keith Haack, Defendant-Appellee.

Summary

The court vacated the portion of the suppression order covering evidence obtained after officers unlawfully entered Haack's home. It held that the district court had not determined whether that evidence was derivative of the unlawful entry or instead obtained through genuinely independent sources. The case was remanded for findings on both questions, with the People bearing the burden of proving genuine independence by a preponderance of the evidence.
