defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that in the one affidavit you find made a false statement knowingly and intentionally or with reckless disregard for the truth and the affidavits remaining content is insufficient establish probable cause what the district court did instead was question whether or not it was reckless to include not include information which bears directly upon resolving the dispute instead of asking whether the affine person acted with reckless disregard for the truth any court question if i had known these things these are the alleged omissions what i have signed a search warrant and the court concluded it would not have and then the court basically granted motion to suppress it by using reckless to fail to include the material information and what that does is it really throws franks out the window and that is wrong the court mino findings nor is there any basis in the record for finding that the fight in this case believe that you had to have probable cause and the find said absolutely i believe they had probable cause and in this case you had a statement from the victim  e on the written form basically saying that he had received an armed threat from roger betts the statement also explained why the victim was providing information to law enforcement piecemeal namely that the defendant in this case had told the victim that his mother worked at the sheriff's department that's a very significant fact because then the information could only have come from the perpetrator in this case perry did not know roger betts before their encounter on the bridge and when perry learned from roger batts that his mother worked at the his mother and that that's with then have an opportunity to hide evidence and then retaliate against perry so that's that information is very significant because it probably it's perry's reliability in its case perry would not have the issue magistrate could properly consider a defendant's course a suspects prior arrests and determining whether there was probable cause and in fact that kind of information is helpful so we know that that said been arrested for having a gun in the past you and that's together with the information from terry and you have probable cause you have a citizen coming in to law enforcement and a false statement made by that citizen to law enforcement would be punishable the supreme court says an illinois versus gates where you have a citizen coming in and there's no information that law enforcement has to doubt his mother working for the sheriff's department and what i want to listen testify and he was pushed to it but he did appear to testify that he didn't want to wear the other which to where he was right and subjective belief that's important here it's whether the statements in the affidavit establish probable cause based on an objective test and i submit to you that it does is is the police officer allowed to  pieces that i think you're certainly right it's not his objective subjects and chat and he's not the person who's waiting what's on one side or the other that he points to the affidavit only what he knows is on one side and leaves the part that's on the other is that at least reckless in terms of not advising the judicial officer of the information that he has not all of missions are reckless supreme court recognize that in a friend's case there are some omissions that are negligent and there was no finding by the just record that sergeant nelson was in fact reckless there was no basis for finding that he was reckless the standard set forth in united states versus information and even if you throw in the alleged missing information there were four things that the court complained about the first was that mizen hammer didn't see a gun well perry didn't say that that's part of gun fact terry says and in his written statement he thought that that's left the gun in the car or somewhere else that he did not bring it into the station because perry didn't see the gun either and again is about the size of your pots not in your palm please the court i am tim's and l from the federal defender's office representing the happily mr beth think it's fair to say we may have complicated this case somewhat in our briefs but it's actually very simple the sole accusation against mr betts came from jerome perry alone and sergeant nelson and when he prepared the warrant affidavit unquestionably knew that jerome perry was unreliable that's the information the material information that he'll needed from the search warrant affidavit you know turning to the first issue raised by the united states about the argument that the court applied the wrong standard in determining whether starch and nelson was reckless i would just point the court to page two seventy eight of the excerpts of record where mr huang pointed to the court pointed out to the court that your honor the standard is intentional or recklessness and the court answered i understand the question is whether or not this record it is reckless to include information that bears directly upon resolving the dispute i think what the government doesn't recognize is th communicated to start else and over the when he was home on his day off and then during the testimony of sergeant nelson the court itself twice took over questioning and said this is a pita to eighteen to nineteen i don't get this if you had the guy come in and say that this man's son vandalized my house you hadn't come in later and say i recant and you hadn't come in after that and say i recant my recantation and he had a gun why would you believe him then again later the court takes over the questioning and asked sergeant nelson he says he did not know because speaking of the magistrate he did not know because you did not tell him that you would talk to deputy mizen heimer asked him specifically about the story on the eleventh did you answer again from sergeant nelson no and i think the government's mistake here is they placed at the since on the sergeant's testimony that he didn't recall or did not the discussion with perry they discuss the absence of a gun and the lack of any mention of a gun so you have four stories from mr perry all of those stories and went to sergeant nelson before he wrote the affidavit the one that he'll minutes is really the most significant one bearing on this credibility that's the story that on friday afternoon mr perry after mr betts had departed comes back in and says i didn't want to do that the guy threatened me which at this point is the third time  contradicted himself or the third story that he's told but he doesn't mention the gun i had occasion the other day when i was with my children to tell them about the time thirty some years ago thirty five years ago when somebody in a movie theater that i know that the government says well he didn't have this reason for not doing that well that reason came out of the hearing that sheds no light on the affidavit the important thing is immediately after he goes into the station says that  mission that during his argument that the question is really an objective one under the circumstances can the corded fer that there was a deliberate disregard of the truth on behalf of sergeant nelson and  i'm sure you know this from practicing every day in the district court you always you always determine mental state circumstantially so you have these factors sergeant nelson doing an investigation speaking to the one deputy that speaking to the other deputy and failing to do any investigation on his own from that i think that's why the court is talking about the sergeant's mental state was a pretty aggressive questioning by this to court judge which put which structure the questions in such a way that the answers were came out of the sergeant were to to agree with the district court judge more often than not and that's caused some issues here about his hunch or his gut feeling and you're quite right the objective standard doesn't apply regardless and other supreme court cases teach us that is long as an objective foundation whether was pretextual or subjective feelings of the the officer approaching whatever doesn't apply it's whether there's an objective basis here and however there was some coloration because of that language what i'd like to emphasize is that if you thrown back into the affidavit the information that was allegedly recklessly omitted you still have probable cause for the issuance of the search warrant it's very important to understand that this is a true miss county sheriff's department it's not the san francisco police department or sacramento police department it's a very small the partment perry reasonably conclude it and believe that any information he provided to the sheriff's department would get back to  opportunity and the acceleration being offered for a while it was perry may have kept that back if it's not known to nelson then it was in the affidavit that nelson said quoting from kerry's statement that perry the gun right up front now the district court's ruling basically says whenever a victim holds back information about an on threat because the perpetrator tells the victim he has a relative working for the law enforcement agency that's investigating the crime the victim becomes unreliable and such and such cases but want will not issue well that's wrong that's not right it basically punishes the victim for holding back information based on a reasonable concern that the law enforcement investigation is going to be interfered with and everyone wants the perpetrator well making the additional threat that my mother works at the sheriff's department and because it's wrong i asked courts reverse the district court below thank you have a counsel for
