What is the test for a de novo review of a suppression ruling?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Stanley, 18 Cal.App.5th 398, 226 Cal.Rptr.3d 291 (Cal. App. 2017):
"In reviewing the trial court's suppression ruling, we defer to its factual findings if supported by substantial evidence. We independently assess the legal question of whether the challenged search or seizure satisfies the Fourth Amendment." ( People v. Brown (2015) 61 Cal.4th 968, 975, 190 Cal.Rptr.3d 583, 353 P.3d 305.) Because the relevant facts are undisputed in this case, we exercise de novo review.
