Criminal. Affirms the judgment of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana in its denial of a motion to suppress evidence. Finds the district court reasonably found the detectives’ testimony was credible and because the good-faith exception applied, it correctly denied David Hueston’s motion to suppress evidence. Also finds Hueston failed to present evidence that the issuing judge was not acting in a neutral and detached way.
