State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Akeem Boone

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the warrant affidavit failed to provide a specific factual basis linking Unit 4A to the defendant, and therefore did not satisfy the probable‑cause requirement of the Fourth Amendment and Article I, Paragraph 7 of the New Jersey Constitution. Because the warrant was invalid, the search of Unit 4A was unlawful and all evidence obtained therefrom was suppressed, resulting in the vacating of Boone's convictions.
