United States v. Cardoza, No. 12-3051 (D.C. Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant moved to suppress evidence found in his apartment after police officers executed a search warrant and seized drugs, firearms, cash, and a variety of drug paraphernalia. Defendant argued that the police officer who prepared the search warrant affidavit made false statements in the affidavit and did so with reckless disregard for the truth. The court reversed the district court's grant of the motion to suppress and concluded that, even with the contested statements excised, the remaining portions of the officer's affidavit demonstrated probable cause for the search warrant.
