New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. John Hendricks
July 2, 196925 N.Y.2d 129
Summary
The Court held that the affidavit supporting the search warrant failed to satisfy the Aguilar‑Spinelli probable‑cause test and lacked particularity, rendering the warrant void; consequently the seized weapons, tickets, and the defendant's post‑search statements were suppressed and the indictment dismissed. The judgment was reversed.
