Then the case proceeds toward trial, where the prosecutor will be able to use the evidence. The situation will be essentially the same as before the motion was made.

Re: motion to suppress

Assuming the matter moves to trial and you are found guilty, your attorney has made a record and reserved tha matter for appeal.

Good Luck

Re: motion to suppress

It means the evidence seized against you is admissible and can be used in trial against you. This does not mean you are automatically guilty - the case simply moves forward to a resolution or trial if it cannot be resolved. The denial of motion to suppress can also be appealed depending upon circumstances. For example, you could take a guilty plea and still appeal the motion. If you win on appeal of the suppression motion, your conviction would most likely be dismissed.
