Description
In this interlocutory appeal, we review an order of the trial court suppressing evidence obtained pursuant to a search warrant. The affidavit supporting the search warrant did not include information related to the child-victim's background prior to the incident in question. The trial court concluded that the warrant was not supported by probable cause because the affidavit, which omitted background information relating to the child-victim's credibility without corroboration of his allegations, was substantially misleading. Because the information omitted was not material and because statements of a victim generally need not be corroborated to support a finding of probable cause, we reverse the trial court's ruling and remand the case for further proceedings.
