McClintock v. Texas (original by judge price)
Annotate this Case
Having concluded that a Fourth Amendment violation occurred, the Court of Appeals held that the trial court should have granted the appellant’s motion to suppress. The State argued on appeal of that suppression order that the court of appeals should not have reversed appellant’s conviction without first deciding whether the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule applied. Concluding that the court of appeals did not err to hold that the balance of the warrant affidavit failed to provide probable cause, the Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the court of appeals and remanded this case to that court to address the good-faith issue in the first instance.
