Based on this, you can murder someone (not saying the Alberts did it) and leave their body on your lawn because a dead body on a lawn does not constitute probable cause for a search because it creates a perfect grey area situation. You wont even get a knock for questioning under reasonable suspicion. Even if that person was confirmed to be heading into that house (which the officers knew on arrival as confirmed by Gallagher and Lank). This case is setting a dangerous precedent for police procedure being ignored and people genuinely think its okay and are ready to send a woman to prison for murder over it.

They randomly immediately replace the floors in the basement, they rehome the dog, they sell the house. How is this only visible to us? And this judge…Jesus Christ.
