State v. Case

Docket number
DA 23-0136
Date

Ruled that a warrantless entry into the defendant’s home was justified under the community caretaker doctrine and did not violate Montana’s expanded privacy protections. Further, the defendant failed to show that Brady violation occurred, and thus district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant new trial. The dissent would have held that there was not sufficient exigent circumstances or probable cause that justified the warrantless entry.
