Does a discrepancy as to the date of the crime in an affidavit in support of a search warrant application entitle to suppression?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Testa, 60 Misc.3d 928, 80 N.Y.S.3d 893 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 2018):

The conclusion that the discrepancy as to the date of the offense does not entitle defendant to suppression finds support in cases describing a court's authority to disregard or correct such discrepancies at other stages of a criminal proceeding. For example, it has been held that a court may disregard an apparent error regarding a material date in an affidavit in support of a search warrant application where a commonsense reading of the affidavit permits the inference that the date was, in all likelihood, a mistake ( Commonwealth v. Leed, Pa. , 186 A.3d 405, 2018 WL 2452659 [Pa. 2018] ).
