United States v. Roy Gene Hyten

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that the court need not reach the Leon issue if the warrant is supported by probable cause
• affirming conviction where “the judgment contain[ed] a typographical error as to [the defendant’s] crime of conviction”
• determining that a law enforcement officer is, at a minimum, the functional equivalent of a reliable informant; therefore, the affiant’s failure to delete the officer’s name and insert his own name was a technical error, not a constitutional one that obviated probable cause
• “Absent a constitutional infirmity, the exclusionary rule is applied only to violations of Federal Rule 41 that prejudice a defendant or show reckless disregard of proper procedure.”
