Practice question
A judge accepts detailed firsthand sworn testimony about a weapon in a specified cell, but reasons that evidence of the inmate’s unrelated conviction alone establishes present probable cause to search any cell. Which proposition is sound?
- The current application still needs a factual nexus to the specified offense, place and property
- Any past conviction conclusively establishes every current allegation
- Every inmate’s conviction authorizes every search by outsiders
- A prior judgment automatically describes all property
- Only the inmate’s age matters
