People v. Altman

Supreme Court of Colorado

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Kourlis

We granted certiorari1 to review issues in People v. Altman, 940 P.2d 1009 (Colo.App.*11661996), concerning application of the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule. We now conclude that the affidavit supporting the search warrant in this case was more than a “bare bones” affidavit. Thus, the officer reasonably relied upon the warrant in conducting the search, and the evidence is admissible under the good faith exception to the exclusionary .rule. Accordingly, we reverse the decision of the court of appeals and remand the case with directions to reinstate the district court’s ruling.
