Walter Ronaldo Martinez Escobar v. United States
CriminalProcedure
Does the Eighth Circuit caselaw the Panel applied in Escobar's case holding that the United States v. Leon good-faith exception applies even when the officers executing the warrant rely on information outside the warrant conflict with Leon, where that caselaw erroneously relied on a ruling this Court made in a warrantless-search case, and does the Eighth Circuit caselaw also create a Circuit split with the Sixth and Ninth Circuits, which hold to the contrary?
