People v. Farrow

The defendant was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, 1 on the basis of the seizure of marijuana from his residence. He moved to suppress the evidence, claiming that it was the product of an illegal search and seizure. The circuit judge conducted an evidentiary hearing and ordered the evidence suppressed.

We conclude that the circuit judge did not clearly err in finding that there was no valid consent, and reverse.
