In reviewing a motion to suppress, what is the effect of the trial court's finding on the motion?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Salinas, H038074 (Cal. App. 2013):
In reviewing a trial court's ruling on a motion to suppress, we defer to the trial court's factual findings where supported by substantial evidence. (People v. Leyba (1981) 29 Cal.3d 591, 596-597.) However, we exercise independent judgment to determine whether, on those facts, the search and seizure was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. (Id. at p. 597.)
