People v. Casco
People v. Casco is the trial of Madison Casco, a high school senior at
Mansfield High, who is alleged to have committed credit card fraud.
In this year's case, the defendant, Madison Casco, is charged with
theft, grand theft, and receiving stolen property. The prosecution
alleges that Madison was behind a credit card ring and took credit
information and purchased items on the Internet, received the stolen
items, and resold them to students at Mansfield High. The defense
argues that the perpetrator of the fraud was not Madison Casco but
instead another student. The defense and prosecution will each present
witnesses.
The pretrial motion involves a Fourth Amendment issue. It centers on
the admissibility of money found during a canine drug sniff on school
grounds. The prosecution will argue that the canine drug sniff was not
a search and even if it was, it did not violate the student's Fourth
Amendment protection against unreasonable searches. The defense will
argue that the canine drug sniff was a search of the students and that
the search was unreasonable and violated the Fourth Amendment. If the
court rules against the prosecution, then the evidence of the money
found in Madison's bag may not be used at trial. |
