Practice question
A police sketch is invoked to cure an ambiguous place description, but the sketch is not in the case record or shown to be an integral part of the warrant. What follows from De Jesus?
- Every unproduced sketch automatically validates the warrant.
- The court must presume the sketch identifies any chosen unit.
- Police recollection conclusively amends the warrant.
- The assertion does not establish that the warrant itself supplied the required particularity.
- The accused must create the missing sketch for the prosecution.
