39 - McDonnell v. Maryland and Open Ended Questions on Cross

Send us Fan MailIn today's episode Darrel discusses (at length) the issue of whether a client has a legitimate privacy interest in a forensic copy of electronic data seized from the client's electronic device, such as a cellular phone or laptop computer.  In McDonnell v. Maryland, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals held that the appellant in that case rekindled his reasonable expectation of privacy in a mirror-image copy of his laptop's hard drive when he revoked consent to search.   Major Allen Abrams then discusses when and how you might want to consider using open ended questions during your cross-examination.
