How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • in both charged and previous offense appellant was discovered with one other individual and enough cocaine to constitute trafficking
  • the use of a trained drug detection dog, in a location where he is entitled to be, to sniff the exterior of a car, is not an unreasonable search
  • “[T]he issue of admissibility of extrinsic transactions has never been one of mere similarity. It is, rather, relevance to the issues in the trial of the case.”
  • fact that driver was driving a car with an expired rental agreement sufficient in itself to establish an objective reason for believing the driver may have engaged in criminal conduct, justifying detention for canine search
  • trial court need not make express finding that probative value outweighs prejudice
  • counsel was not ineffective in failing to preserve a claim of error as to the trial court’s denial of a motion to suppress drugs found by 15 drug dog who alerted on the exterior of defendant’s car when that fact provided the court with grounds for denial of the motion
