D.Minn.: The scene of a shooting is nexus for a SW

The scene of a shooting is a logical place to find evidence of the shooting. Therefore, that’s nexus, and probable cause exists. United States v. Strong, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 170882 (D. Minn. November 21, 2014).

Defense counsel was not ineffective for not moving to suppress defendant’s search before the guilty plea. The scenario defendant describes in his 2255 petition strongly suggests that the automobile exception supported the search. He later, however, confessed to the crime, so the search likely would become harmless or moot. United States v. Millender, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 169145 (M.D. Ala. December 8, 2014).*

Plaintiffs were juveniles arrested by police for trespassing. The juvie complaint against one was proven then dismissed under Ohio law, and the second admitted he trespassed. Therefore, they were collaterally estopped from challenging the arrest. Their excessive force complaint for being shoved was not excessive. Bolden v. City of Euclid, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 23222, 2014 FED App. 0906N (6th Cir. December 8, 2014).*
