Idaho v. Mann

by
Jesse Mann appealed his conviction for trafficking marijuana, driving without privileges, and possession of drug paraphernalia which were entered after a jury found him guilty of the charges. Prior to trial, Mann sought suppression of the evidence related to the marijuana and paraphernalia charges. The district court found that Mann did not have standing to challenge the search as the evidence was found in a rental car which he was not authorized to drive. Mann argued that he had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the rental car because he had permission from the lessee to drive the car. Mann also argued that the jury instruction regarding the paraphernalia charge was erroneous. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed. View "Idaho v. Mann" on Justia Law
