Description
FLORES, Judge. In these consolidated appeals, Defendant Mary Esther Lovato (Mary Esther) appeals from her conviction for possession of heroin
and Defendant James Lovato (James) appeals from his convictions for trafficking heroin, conspiracy to commit trafficking,
and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both Mary Esther and James raise the following issues on appeal: (1) whether the trial
court erred in denying their motion to suppress the evidence obtained as a result of a search warrant which was stale; and
(2) alternatively, whether the search warrant was facially invalid because it did not support probable cause. In addition,
James also raises the following issues on appeal: (1) whether the evidence is insufficient to support his convictions for
trafficking, conspiracy to commit trafficking, and possession of drug paraphernalia; and (2) whether there was ineffective
assistance of counsel on the part of his trial attorney for failing to object to a surprise witness.
