MI: IAC for failure to file suppression motion has to show it would be successful

FourthAmendment.com - News - Tue, 2026-05-05 03:19

Defendant’s claim defense counsel was not ineffective for not moving to quash the arrest warrant fails because there was clearly probable cause. People v. Lambert, 2012 Mich. App. LEXIS 499 (March 20, 2012).*

The CI was not shown to be reliable except by corroboration by an “extensive” police investigation, and that was adequate. The triggering conditions of the anticipatory warrant here satisfied Grubbs. United States v. Donnell, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 36487 (D. Minn. February 2, 2012).*
