Syllabus

<p>Certiorari (14) — Criminal Law (382) — Right of State to Review — Interlocutory Orders. Certiorari does not lie to review an order suppressing evidence obtained through a wrongful search, as the same is an interlocutory ruling amounting to nothing more than a rejection of evidence needed by the state.</p> <p>Certiorari (14) — Criminal Law (382) — Right of State to Review. Under Rem. Code, § 1716, limiting the right of the state to appeal in criminal cases to orders setting aside the information or arresting judgment for insufficiency of the facts or errors of law not affecting an acquittal on the merits, it was the intent to deprive the state of the right to any other review, whether by appeal or certiorari; hence certiorari will not lie to review an interlocutory order suppressing evidence in a criminal case.</p>
