Heading: does estes have standing to complain about the search of cole?

Text: Estes argues that the arrest of Cole was illegal and as the arrest was illegal, the search was illegal, and therefore the evidence could not be used against Estes. Regardless of legality of the search of Cole the evidence may be used against Estes. A person who is aggrieved by an illegal search and seizure only through the introduction of damaging evidence secured by a search of a third person's premises or property has not had any of his Fourth Amendment rights infringed. Ware v. State, 410 So.2d 1330, 1331 (Miss. 1982), quoting from Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U.S. 128, 99 S.Ct. 421, 58 L.Ed.2d 387 (1978). There is no merit to this assignment of error by Estes.
