How later courts describe this case

  • applying Leon good faith exception when “only omission [in affidavit] was the failure to explain how the agent — who had ample basis for the contention — knew that ‘81 Intervale’ was ‘Kiley’s address.’ ”
  • prosecutor’s appeal to jurors to draw inferences based on common sense did not inject personal belief into argument
