State v. Nigro
Annotate this CaseKaihlil Nigro was convicted of two counts of aggravated trafficking of scheduled drugs with an accompanying order for criminal forfeiture following a jury trial. Nigro appealed, contending that he was deprived of a fair trial because the court did not ask prospective jurors whether they harbored prejudice or bias against members of the Islamic faith. Nigro also argued that the court erred in refusing to suppress (1) an out-of-court photographic identification made by a confidential informant, (2) evidence obtained during the execution of a search warrant, and (3) documents seized during his arrest. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Nigro did not establish that the court committed obvious error in conducting voir dire, (2) the informant's identifications were properly admitted at trial despite an unnecessarily suggestive identification procedure, (3) the search warrant affidavit sufficiently established probable cause, and thus the evidence obtained during the execution of the search warrant was properly admitted, and (4) the documents seized during Nigro's lawful arrest were properly admitted.
