State v. Jakubczyk (State Court of Cobb County)
Mrs. Corvelli successfully argues that police exceeded the scope of a search warrant executed on the Defendant's home by opening a container they did not have the right to open and retrieving marijuana from within. Court grants motion to suppress the evidence in the case thereby preventing the State from introducing the marijuana evidence at any trial. As a result, State will be unable to obtain a conviction against the Defendant.
