Killer, but Not a Liar (People v. Turriago)

Troopers stopped Leonardo Turriago for a speeding violation on the New York State Thruway, which led police to a grim discovery in the back of his truck: a decomposing body locked in a steamer trunk. But was the search of the truck legal? Judge Judy Sheindlin and her team recreate the case, examining the delicate balance between police search powers and constitutional privacy protections.
