Appeals Court Upholds Convictions Despite Contradictory Police Testimony
A divided appeals court in Colorado has upheld a man's convictions for unlawful possession of a firearm, despite acknowledging that the contradictory police testimony was "troubling and unfair".
Matthew Torres had attempted to exclude evidence of a handgun found in his waistband, arguing that police had stopped and frisked him in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
- Torres argued that the search was unreasonable and violated his rights.
- A trial judge disagreed, finding that police had reasonable suspicion to stop Torres based on pretrial testimony from an officer.
The majority acknowledged that the contradictory testimony was potentially unfair, but still upheld the convictions.
Author's summary: Court upholds convictions despite unfair police testimony.
