State v. Shlawrence Ross

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment and remanded for a determination of probable cause on the State’s request for a search warrant and Dyal subpoena to obtain a bullet removed from the defendant’s body. The Court held that the proper analysis is governed by the Fourth Amendment, and that neither the Fifth nor the Sixth Amendment bars the issuance of a valid warrant. It instructed the trial court to assess probable cause before deciding on the State’s applications.
