A couple interesting notes. . . 1. These defendants were only half of the group arrested that night. The other half appeared with a different lawyer, in front of a different judge. The second group's motion to supress was denied from the bench, before the case at hand was heard by the trial judge in this case (Judge Judkins) a couple weeks later. 2. I was so upset at the result, that for the first and last time in my practice, I was invited by the judge if I might like to sit in the holding cell - I politely declined.

I guess hindsight is always 20/20. As the counsel of record in this matter, and not the initial counsel, I did also find that interesting/distressing. I guess hindsight is always 20/20.

Paragraphs 10-14 of the <a href="http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=ut&vol=supopin&invol=brigha021805" rel="nofollow">Utah Supreme Court opinion</a> strongly imply that the defendants could have had suppression under the state constitution, immune from U.S. Supreme Court review, if their lawyer had only asked.
