State of Minnesota v. Rebecca Julie Malecha

Summary

The court held that the arrest warrant had been quashed before Malecha's arrest and that the district court did not clearly err in so finding. It further held that the Minnesota Constitution does not permit the good-faith exception when officers search and arrest a person on a quashed warrant that appears active because court administration failed to update warrant records. The court reversed the court of appeals and reinstated the order dismissing the charges.
