The Court determined that while it may be more difficult to prove that a certain judge issued the warrant, there is no constitutional requirement that a judge sign a search warrant. The Tenth Circuit Court recently decided in United States v Cruz,* that the fourth amendment, which protects citizens against unlawful search and seizure, does not per se require the signature of a warrant. Well, because of the justice systems failure, vigilante justice turned him into the pun spewing teen murderer you know and tolerate.Īssuming only the information we have from the first film is true, then the search warrant would likely be valid even if it is not signed. Well, I am not sure how a lawyer gets rich off defending a power plant worker with no discernible assets, but perhaps Freddy sold his gloves on a proto-Etsy.

We are told by one of the greatest drunks in film history Margaret Thompson, Nancy’s Mother, that “the lawyers got fat and the Judge got famous, but someone forgot to sign the search warrant in the right place and Krueger was free.”

Truly this is the Final Nightmare… wait they already did that.
