OR: Def’s wife implicitly consented to the search by her actions

The record supported the finding that defendant’s wife consented to the search. Her behavior, including standing in the open doorway and not protesting the officer’s entry, indicated implied consent. In addition, the court found that he did not expressly deny consent; the body camera footage showed no objections to the officers entering the home. State v. Salah, 335 Or. App. 576 (Oct. 23, 2024).

Defense counsel wasn’t ineffective for not moving to suppress a search that was conducted by a trusted confederate who turned out to be a government agent. Ball v. United States, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 193249 (M.D. Fla. Oct. 24, 2024).*

Erring on the side of caution, the court grants a Franks hearing so defendant can develop his issues. United States v. Maiden, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 193463 (W.D. Ky. Oct. 24, 2024).*
