- Supreme Court threw out a judicial decision Monday involving a Virginia man's challenge to a "geofence" warrant used by police to access cellphone location data near a crime scene leading to his conviction for armed robbery.
- The justices, in a 6-3 decision, tossed a lower court's ruling against defendant Okello Chatrie, who had argued he was subjected to an illegal search and that evidence in his case should be excluded.
