People v. Dewey

The State appealed from a ruling of the circuit court excluding the admission of evidence obtin pursuant to a valid search warrant at a bench trial, arguing that while the evidence was excluded pursuant to a hearsay objection it was a midtrial motion to suppress evidence and was not properly granted by the trial court. The defendant argued that the exclusion of evidence was an evidentiary ruling and that the appellate court did not have juridiction under SCR 604(a) to consider the appeal. The appellate court agreed and dismissed the appeal.
