Supreme Court of South Carolina

State v. Justin Jamal Warner

April 13, 2022

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the warrant authorizing seizure of cell‑site location information was not invalid merely because the records were stored out‑of‑state, and that a Biggers hearing was not required because the probation officer who identified Warner was not an eyewitness. The court affirmed the trial court’s refusal to hold a Biggers hearing and remanded for further proceedings on Warner’s motion to suppress the CSLI.
