A motion to suppress is a motion filed by defense counsel to suppress certain evidence in a criminal case. Typically, this type of evidence can include physical evidence taken during a search and seizure, or incriminating statements made to the police afterward.
IF your son wins the motion to suppress, it could result in the charges being dropped against him, depending on what other evidence the prosecutor has. For this reason, the motion to suppress is one of the most effective tools a criminal defense attorney can use.
