State v. Benallie

MILLER, Chief Justice.

[¶ 1.] Defendant Lorenzo Benallie appeals his conviction of second-degree murder arising out of a stabbing incident on April 1,1996 in White River, South Dakota. He asserts that the warrantless search of the trailer house in which he resided was unlawful because law enforcement did not rely on proper consent to search.

We affirm.
