Ind. Decisions - 7th Circuit issues two
Neither are Indiana cases.
USA v. Williams, Darius C. - Sentencing appeal, affirmed.
USA v. Cherry, Alan - 2-1 decision in legality of search case. Majority affirms in first 10 pages. Judge Posner dissents in last 8 pages, concluding:
The judgment cannot be upheld on the basis of the district court’s reasoning. The case should be remanded for a determination of the credibility of the officer who testified that he smelled marijuana. If that testimony is credited by the district judge, there was probable cause to search the car; if not, not, and the evidence of the gun should be suppressed.
