United States v. Nicholas Harper

How courts have described this case

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

• upholding the denial of a motion to suppress based on the testimony of one officer that the defendant verbally consented to the search despite contradictory testimony from the defendant and a lack of corroboration from other officers at the scene
• “Credibility assessments are ‘the province of the trial court.’” (quoting United States v. Heath, 58 F.3d 1271, 1275 (8th Cir. 1995))
• despite factors that “might have given the district court reason to” doubt officer’s testimony, finding no error absent such “internal inconsistency or implausibility necessary to compel the conclusion that [the officer] was non-credible”
