State v. Sawyer

Summary

The court held that the search warrant was supported by probable cause because the affidavit, viewed under the totality of the circumstances, established a fair probability that evidence of child pornography would be found at the defendant's residence. The court also declined to adopt a more demanding, more-probable-than-not standard under the Connecticut Constitution, concluding that probable cause requires less than a preponderance of the evidence and should not be divided into separate standards. The judgment was affirmed.
