State of Minnesota v. Jeron Garding
ORDER ON PETITION FOR FURTHER REVIEW;
Issues Granted:
(1) Was it error for the Court of Appeals to reverse a first-degree controlled substance crime conviction based on a reasonable-suspicion analysis which examined the inferences that can be drawn from each fact in isolation, rather than examining the inferences that can be drawn from the facts in their totality?
(2) Was it error for the Court of Appeals to rule that only evidence of current drug impairment is relevant to developing a reasonable suspicion that drugs may be present in a vehicle, and that evidence of a suspect's habitual drug use is per se excluded from that assessment?
