  • declining to remand for hearing on inevitable discovery where existing record demonstrated, under the correct legal standard, the futility of that claim
  • declining to remand for hearing on inevitable discovery where existing record demonstrated, under the correct legal standard, the futility of that claim
  • declining to remand on an inevitable discovery issue when the “prosecution did not rely upon that rule in [op]posing the initial suppression motion, nor did it raise the rule in its brief” and, based on the record, the claim would have been futile
  • “To remand the case for a hearing under these circumstances would transform the inevitable discovery rule into a vehicle for upholding police conduct based upon an officer’s hindsight appraisal of what constitutionally proper course of conduct he ‘could’ have followed.”
