State v. Turner.

Summary

The Court affirmed suppression of evidence seized from Turner’s home because the warrantless search was not supported by voluntary consent or another established exception to the warrant requirement. Terry’s initial invitation for one officer to enter the kitchen did not authorize a broader search, and both Terry and Turner merely acquiesced to law-enforcement authority. The State’s argument that the evidence was exempt from the exclusionary rule because it was gathered during a death investigation was not preserved for review, and the investigation was in any event led by law enforcement.
