What are my rights if I was arrested and am now awaiting trial but just now realized that my search warrant had the wrong address on it?
Since the search warrant had the wrong address, is it still valid?

Hello. Are you represented by an attorney? If not, you should immediately confer with a private attorney. The matter likely involves a detailed analysis of law. There is a great deal of case law in this area. Whether the officers acted in good faith is a consideration. The location of the wrong address in relation to the correct address is a consideration. Again, without question, you need private attorney help.
Some attorneys, myself included, will confer for free, at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys, myself included, will provide a reduced fee for need. All the best
