Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Flores
October 20, 2015
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of the defendant’s motion to suppress his confessions, holding that the search warrant affidavit established probable cause and was not based on stale information. The affidavit sufficiently supported the issuing judge’s reliability determination because a named informant personally provided information, admitted repeated criminal conduct against his penal interest, and described a recent and continuing marijuana-distribution operation. The court therefore did not reach the attenuation issue.
