Superior Court Judge Charles Campbell Charles Campbell can refer to several people:

Example: a confession which the defendant alleges was signed while he was drunk or without the reading of his Miranda rights. (evidence) was denied.'' Over the course of nearly four days, Aronson tried to show that deputies thought Bradley Raville was on probation, giving officers the right to search his home without permission or a search warrant. On Monday, Clarence Raville testified that he invited deputies into his Rudman Drive house but that he never gave them permission to search the property. But a series of deputies testified that Clarence Raville did indeed give permission for the search after deputies received a tip from Bradley Raville's former girlfriend that a drug lab was located in a backyard shed. When deputies entered the shed, they inadvertently tripped a booby trap booby trap n. a device set up to be triggered to harm or kill anyone entering the trap, such as a shot gun which will go off if a room is entered, or dynamite which will explode if the ignition key on an auto is turned. .
