ICAC Case Law: US V. Perkins (2017)

In United States v. Perkins (2017), the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court's denial of a motion to suppress evidence obtained from Perkins' home computers. Perkins had pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography, but he appealed on the grounds that the search warrant was based on an affidavit that omitted material information, which could have misled the magistrate judge. The Ninth Circuit agreed, finding that the omission was reckless and required the reversal of Perkins' conviction
