P. v. Jackson
Defendant Tony Rene Jackson appeals from the denial of his motion to quash the search warrant and his motion to suppress evidence under Penal Code section 1538.5.[1] After denial of his motions, defendant agreed to plead no contest to one count of possession of a firearm by a felon with four prior convictions (§ 12021, subd. (a)(1)) (count 3) in exchange for a sentence of four years.[2] The sentence consisted of the midterm of two years, doubled to four years due to defendant’s prior conviction of a serious felony. (§§ 1170.12, subd. (a) – (d); 667, subd. (b) – (i).)
Defendant appeals on the grounds that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence because the facts alleged in the affidavit did not justify the search, and the good faith exception did not apply.
