Murray v. United Statesgreen

2 sentences

2016In Murray v. United States, 487 U.S. 533 (1988), for example, the Court held that under the independent source doctrine, an unlawful warrantless entry into a warehouse would not require suppression of evidence obtained during a subsequent warrant-based search of the warehouse if the government could establish (1) that the warrant was based on information independent of what the officers saw during the warrantless entry and (2) that the officers would have sought a warrant even if they had not previously entered the warehouse.

2016Id. at 541–43; see also id. at 547 (Marshall, J., dissenting) (stating that the majority opinion in Murray ―makes the application of the independent source exception turn entirely on an evaluation of the officers‘ intent‖); United States v. Jadlowe, 628 F.3d 1 , 9–10 (1st Cir. 2010) (in independent-source case where officer testified that he ―would have sought a warrant even had the officers not seen the bricks of cocaine in the garage,‖ the court explained that the ―police officers‘ subjective intent to seek a warrant is a factual determination subject to clear error review‖); United States v
