    Rick Kittel and KU Defender Project intern Rene Ugarte won in State v. Pettay, No. 107,673 (Kan. June 6, 2014), obtaining suppression in a Reno County drug prosecution. The question was whether, as the KSC had held in some other cases, the good-faith exception saved a pre-Gant search incident to arrest.
