Supreme Court of Delaware
Bernardo McKinney, Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Below-Appellee
December 18, 20142014 Del. LEXIS 601
Summary
The court held that the affidavit supporting the search warrant for McKinney’s apartment did not establish probable cause. Although police corroborated the identities and residence of the people described by the confidential informant, they did not corroborate the informant’s assertion that illegal drug activity occurred there or establish the informant’s reliability. The court reversed the conviction-related judgment and remanded for further proceedings.
