Demby v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury-waived trial, Petitioner was convicted of possession of oxycodone with intent to distribute. Petitioner appealed, arguing that he was entitled, by application of the rule established in Riley v. California, decided by the Supreme Court, to suppression of the evidence obtained as the result of the search of his cell phone incident to his lawful arrest. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the officer who searched Petitioner’s cell phone acted in good faith on then-controlling authority in Maryland in searching Petitioner’s cell phone, and therefore, Petitioner was not entitled to have the cell phone data excluded at trial.
