Oregon Supreme Court

State v. DeJong

November 4, 2021368 Or. 640

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and the trial court, holding that the defendant established the minimal factual nexus required by the Johnson burden‑shifting framework, thereby shifting the burden to the state, and that the record was insufficient to show the state met its burden that the evidence was untainted. The case was remanded for further proceedings, including the possibility of withdrawing the defendant’s conditional guilty plea.
