7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Edward Thompson
Case No.: 16-1105
Officials: BAUER, POSNER, and MANION, Circuit Judges
Focus: 4th Amendment
Defendant–appellant, Edward Thompson, was indicted on one count of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). He filed a motion to suppress the cocaine that was seized after he gave his consent for law enforcement to search his apartment. He argued that a series of Fourth Amendment violations led to the discovery of the contraband and that his consent was not voluntary. The district court denied Thompson’s motion. We affirm.
