Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Sawyer

March 24, 2020335 Conn. 29

Summary

The court held that the search warrant was supported by probable cause because the affidavit, considered as a whole, supported a fair probability that evidence of child pornography would be found in the defendant's residence. The court also declined to adopt a more demanding state constitutional standard requiring probable cause to be more probable than not, including in cases where it is uncertain whether a crime has occurred. The judgment was affirmed.
