Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Whether the lower court erred in finding probable cause to search petitioner's home when the court viewed the search warrant affidavit as a whole and failed to individually analyze the weight of each factor.

II. Whether the lower court erred when the court found that the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule should apply to permit the introduction of evidence seized from petitioner's home, even though the search warrant affidavit was overly vague and conclusory and failed to provide a minimal connection between the alleged criminal activity and petitioner's home.
