Description
Defendant-Appellant Lawrence Wah Kwai Narvaez (hereinafter "Narvaez") appeals from the denial of his Motion to Dismiss Indictment with Prejudice. The trial court ruled Narvaez lacked the standing to suppress the illegally obtained statements of co-defendant Samson Fernandez, Jr. (hereinafter "Fernandez"), which implicated Narvaez in a robbery. Narvaez concedes the majority of case law supports the position of Plaintiff-Appellee State of Hawaii (hereinafter "State") that, under the traditional analysis of the exclusionary rule and the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine, only those whose constitutional rights have been directly violated have standing to suppress such evidence. Narvaez contends, however, that he was denied his due process right to challenge the evidence against him because the information leading to his arrest was a "fruit" of the suppressed interrogation. We disagree and affirm the trial court ruling for the reasons stated below.
