The following excerpt is from United States v. Brown, 996 F.3d 998 (9th Cir. 2021):
1 On appeal from a conviction after the denial of a motion to suppress, we recount the evidence "in the light most favorable to the government." United States v. Henry , 615 F.2d 1223, 1230 (9th Cir. 1980). Where, as in this case, there was a trial after the suppression hearing, we may also rely on the testimony given at trial "to sustain the denial of a motion to suppress evidence, even if such testimony was not given at the suppression hearing." United States v. Sanford , 673 F.2d 1070, 1072 (9th Cir. 1982). Here, the trial testimony provides a few clarifying details, but it does not contain any materially different facts from the testimony presented at the suppression hearing.
