New Hampshire v. Gness
Annotate this Case
Defendant Richard Gness appealed his convictions for possession of psilocin with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine, and possession of marijuana. On appeal, he argued that the superior court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence derived from a warrantless search of a desk drawer located in the office of his convenience store. Defendant argued that because the search did not meet the requirements of the administrative search exception to the warrant requirement, it violated his constitutional rights. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed defendant's convictions.
