Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

State of Maine v. Saad Zackaria

January 13, 20262026 ME 2

Summary

The court affirmed Zackaria's convictions, holding that he lacked an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy in the shelter's common area and shower room under the specific circumstances presented. It also held that, although the more-than-thirty-month delay triggered speedy-trial review and included lengthy pretrial detention, the balance of the relevant factors did not establish a violation of the Maine Constitution. No separate opinions were filed.
