The man known as the “Teflon defendant” for his ability to beat criminal charges has won another legal ruling.
A grand jury indicted Corey A. Moore — who earned the “Teflon” moniker when he made it through four mistrials in a 1994 D.C. murder case before prosecutors dropped the charge — on gun and drug charges in October.
Moore was arrested after he allegedly threw an alcohol bottle at an officer while carrying $50,000 of cocaine. Officers later searched his home, and a federal judge ruled last month that police did not have probable cause to search the apartment.
Prosecutors asked the judge to reconsider. But U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams denied their motion Tuesday, upholding his initial ruling that the evidence — which included PCP, weapons and ammunition — is inadmissible.
