1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Barros“The circuit court’s ruling on a motion to suppress is reviewed de novo to determine whether, as a matter of law, the ruling was “right” or “wrong.” However, the circuit court’s findings of fact, upon which the court’s ruling rests, are reviewed to determine whether they are clearly erroneous. A finding of fact is clearly erroneous when (1) the record lacks substantial evidence to support the finding, or (2) despite substantial evidence in support of the finding, the appellate court is nonetheless left with a definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made.”
