Notes of Decisions

District court’s suppression of evidence is a final determination and has res judicata effect if the state does not appeal. State v. Swain/Goldsmith, 267 Or 527, 517 P2d 684 (1974)

Where state appealed from district court’s suppression of evidence pursuant to this section, but failed to appeal to Court of Appeals from circuit court’s affirmance of the order of suppression, state may not raise suppression issue in later de novo trial in circuit court. State v. Krey, 18 Or App 22, 523 P2d 600 (1974)
