Do you know if the judge's refusal covers both the Frank's Hearing and the 402's on the cadaver dogs evidence.

I don't. Sounds like the judge "split the baby", doesn't it? What happens about the wiretaps, Anse?

My understanding is the judge ruled against hearing the 402's.

Now,there is only the Frank's hearing left,which will be held on October 29th. The trial court must decide whether there would have been probable cause to issue the search warrant had the judge been aware of the misstatements or omitted information.(which is what the defense claims) Of course the prosecution has came back with their response,so the judge will have to make a ruling on which has merit. DevilAnse,please feel free to make any corrections or add information,to what I have said in my post.

I think that in the motion hearings b/f the prelim begins, the judge will decide yes or no, whether or not they must hold a Franks hearing. If he decides they must, I don't think they would have to hold the Franks hearing b/f the prelim.
