Description
Plaintiff-appellant State of Hawai'i (the prosecution) appeals from the circuit court's July 5, 1995 findings of fact (FOF), Conclusions of law (COL) and order granting defendant-appellee Henry A. Dixon's (Dixon), aka Henry Lee Flazer, motion to suppress evidence retrieved by the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) during the execution of a valid arrest warrant. The prosecution argues that the trial court erred, as a matter of law, when it concluded that the HPD officers' entry into Dixon's hotel room was illegal. The prosecution maintains that entry was lawful because: (1) employing a ruse to effect a voluntary and nonviolent opening of the hotel room door did not implicate or violate Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 803-11 (1993); and (2) Dixon's constitutional protections were not impaired.
