Oregon Supreme Court

State v. Lee

April 24, 2025373 Or. 555

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court allowed the petition for reconsideration and modified its prior opinion, holding that ORS 133.673 creates a procedural mechanism to suppress evidence obtained in violation of the warrant requirements of ORS 133.545(6). The court reasoned that the statute’s text, context, and legislative history show legislative intent to permit suppression for violations of the narrow range of warrant statutes, and that ORS 136.432 does not repeal this mechanism.
