2005Although the court emphasized that the rule is necessary “to discourage ‘fishing expeditions’ in an effort to impeach a jury verdict,” it explained that “such an affidavit is not absolutely necessary but that the failure to secure it might satisfactorily be explained or accounted for, in which event it would be the duty of the trial court to hear evidence in support of the allegations.” Id.

2014We recently recognized, citing Summers and Bailey, that even when police officers do not have reasonable suspicion, or any suspicion, that a particular individual has been involved in criminal activity, they may detain that individual incident to the execution of a proper search warrant as long as the individual is found within or immediately outside a residence at the moment the officers execute the warrant. 7 Shed v.

2017As a matter of plain English, it is hard to imagine how observing the 534’s status throughout the entirety of Gold’s purported Jones Act connection—almost 5 months—can fairly be considered a “snapshot.” And fortunately, there is no need to ponder the term’s meaning; the Supreme Court made explicit that the type of prohibited snapshot is one that focuses on the “instant of injury,” Chandris, 515 U.S. at 363 , or the “time of the accident,” Stewart, 543 U.S. 495–96.
