State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Quinn Marshall, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's decision that the search warrant for the apartment at 105 Wayne Avenue was invalid because it failed to satisfy the particularity requirement and improperly delegated factual determinations to police. The Court held that the warrant did not describe a specific unit within the two‑unit building and that the conditional language did not provide the neutral magistrate with the required probable cause. A dissent argued that the warrant was valid under existing precedent. The Court affirmed the suppression of the seized evidence.
