MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wilson, 8 F.3d 33 (9th Cir. 1993):
The district court's finding that a person voluntarily consented to a search is a factual determination reviewed for clear error. United States v. Childs, 944 F.2d 491, 495 (9th Cir.1991). We view evidence regarding consent in the light most favorable to the fact-finder's decision. United States v. Kaplan, 895 F.2d 618, 622 (9th Cir.1990).
