United States v. Clutter, No. 11-1777 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed the district court's denial of his motion to suppress after entering a conditional plea of guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography. The court concluded that the totality of the circumstances plainly supported the district court's determination that seizure of the three computers at issue was not constitutionally unreasonable, based on defendant's father's consent, the officers' probable cause to believe the computers contained evidence of child pornography offenses, and their intent to obtain a search warrant. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
Court Description: Criminal case - Criminal law.
