The Supreme Court of Georgia recently reversed a decision by the Court of Appeals regarding a child pornography investigation, finding that the search warrant affidavit used in the case lacked sufficient probable cause.

The case involved Michael S. Shirley, whose home was searched after an FBI Task Force received information from German authorities. While the Gwinnett Superior Court originally denied Mr. Shirley’s Motion to Suppress, believing the warrant to be valid, the Georgia Supreme Court found the affidavit supporting the warrant too vague to justify a lawful search.
