Womack v. State

A search warrant for the seizure of pornography from the defendant's home described the property to be seized with reasonable certainty because the warrant specified that officers were to seize records and information related to the specific offenses that the defendant allegedly committed.

Following a trial by jury, Tyrone Womack was convicted of two counts of rape, two counts of false imprisonment, one count of criminal attempt to commit aggravated sodomy, one count of aggravated sodomy, and two counts of aggravated assault. Womack appeals these convictions, arguing that 1 he received ineffective assistance of counsel when his attorney failed to obtain a pre-trial psychiatric evaluation, 2 the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress pornographic videos which were not linked to the crimes for which Womack was indicted and seized using an insufficient search warrant, and 3 the trial court erred by allowing testimony summarizing the contents of the pornographic videos seized. For the reasons set forth infra, we affirm.

Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s guilty verdict,1 the record reflects that Womack committed horrific acts of violence against two separate women in 2008 and was subsequently indicted on a score of charges related to these attacks.
