Illegal Search

[projetski3]

What is the name of your state? Arizona

My roommate was the target of a search warrant which was executed at my residence. He was suspected of possessing stolen property. During the search, a very small amount of drugs were found on the property. I was arrested and charged with possession of drugs. My roommate was not charged with any crime. A motion to suppress the evidence was filed by my attorney based on several issues, including failure to knock and announce. The motion was granted for the no knock, drugs were suppressed, and consequently my case was dismissed.

My question: Can my roommate still be charged based on the evidence obtained from the same search in relation to the stolen property since the judge has already suppressed the drug evidence based on failure to knock in my case?

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

If the search warrant was tossed as you indicate and the evidence supppressed, it is unlikely that anything gained from it would be allowed.
