What suppression can address
Suppression may apply to traffic stops, searches, seizures, statements, identifications, warrants, digital evidence, or other evidence depending on the facts.
Why it matters
Suppression can change the entire posture of a case. It may remove key evidence, create negotiation leverage, narrow trial issues, or expose weaknesses in the State’s proof.
- Identify the evidence at issue.
- Tie the evidence to the constitutional violation.
- Request an evidentiary hearing where appropriate.
- Preserve the record for review.
Early review is critical
Suppression issues are usually strongest when the defense obtains reports, video, warrants, affidavits, recordings, and timelines early.
