WY: Flight broke any causal connection between unlawful stop and later search of person

Evidence supporting defendant’s charges was admissible under the attenuation doctrine. His flight and the circumstances surrounding his flight broke the causal connection between the alleged unlawful police conduct and the evidence supporting his charges. Also, where the trial court denied a motion to suppress as untimely but ruled on the merits anyway and then allowed defendant to enter a conditional guilty plea reserving the right to appeal the denial, the State could not rely on timeliness ruling as a basis to affirm because timeliness was not dispositive. Barney v. State, 2022 WY 49, 2022 Wyo. LEXIS 49 (Apr. 8, 2022).*

The inferences from the totality of phone conversations added up to probable cause for this warrant. United States v. Davis, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65950 (D.Minn. Apr. 8, 2022).*

There was reasonable suspicion for defendant’s search on supervised release. United States v. Watkins, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 65999 (W.D.N.Y. Mar. 24, 2022).*
