State v. Pando

Ellington, Judge.

The State charged Luis Pando and Olanrewaju Ojemuyiwa with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, OCGA § 16-13-30, and possession of diazepam, OCGA §§ 16-13-28 and 16-13-30. The defendants filed a motion to suppress the evidence, which the trial court granted. The State appeals, contending the trial court erred in finding that the search of Pando’s home by police officers violated their Fourth Amendment rights and, even if it did, the court should have admitted the evidence under the inevitable discovery doctrine. Finding no error, we affirm.
