Experts question city prosecutor?s decision to throw out cell phone murder confession

Experts on search and seizure law who have argued in front of the U.S. Supreme Court said Thursday that they believe the Baltimore City state?s attorney should not have dropped first-degree murder charges against a teenager accused of gunning down two Carroll County residents.

“I can?t believe that the charges would be dropped,” said University of Baltimore law professor Byron Warnken, who argued a Fourth Amendment case in front of the high court in 1996. “If I was a prosecutor, I would go forward with it.”
