Supreme Court of Georgia

Taylor v. the State.

February 5, 2018810 S.E.2d 113

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that an affidavit need not expressly state that the residence to be searched is the suspect's home if the affidavit, together with its attachment, permits a reasonable inference of that nexus, and affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment. The Court also reiterated that a magistrate's probable‑cause determination is reviewed for a "substantial basis" and is entitled to substantial deference.
