CompFox AI Summary
Justice Janice M. Holder dissents from the majority's opinion, arguing that the majority misapplied the standard of review for factual findings in a suppression hearing. She contends that the majority used a de novo standard, established in State v. Binette, instead of the deferential standard set forth in State v. Odom. Justice Holder asserts that proper application of the Odom standard would uphold the trial court's finding that Officer Kohl had reasonable suspicion to stop Garcia due to his noticeable and continual weaving on the interstate. Furthermore, she concludes that Officer Kohl's subsequent investigative detention of Garcia was reasonable in both duration and scope, citing Garcia's evasiveness and inconsistent statements. Consequently, Justice Holder would find no violation of Garcia's constitutional rights and would disagree with the majority's holding that Garcia's consent to search was an exploitation of an unlawful seizure.
