State of Minnesota v. Kristi Dannette Mcneilly

Citations

• 6 N.W.3d 161

Syllabus

1. Search warrants authorizing seizure and search of electronic devices were sufficiently particular under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 10, of the Minnesota Constitution. 2. The guilty verdict in this case was surely unattributable to the evidence obtained from the search of a law office and so we need not decide whether the warrants to search that law office were executed in an unreasonable manner because any error in the evidence's admission was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. 3. When searching the law office of an attorney who is suspected of a crime, specific procedures to safeguard privileged materials are required under the supervisory powers of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Affirmed.
