State of Maine v. Hasahn Carter

Summary

The court affirmed Carter’s convictions, holding that suppression was unwarranted because the cellphone evidence was obtained through a valid warrant supported by probable cause independent of any information obtained by using the phone’s emergency-call function. It also held that the trial court acted within its discretion in denying Carter’s request for nonparty business records because the request improperly sought discovery and did not satisfy the preliminary requirements for specificity, admissibility, relevance, and necessity. No separate opinions were filed.
