United States Fourth Circuit

A police officer's affirmative misrepresentation in his search warrant affidavit, which informed the defendant's decision to plead guilty and tinged the entire proceeding, rendered the defendant's plea involuntary and violated his due process rights, and thus the district court's decision holding otherwise is reversed and remanded.
