Judge Lets Phone Evidence Stand

A judge just overturned part of a murder conviction’s key cellphone evidence ruling — but then flipped it back with a twist. Logan Clegg, convicted of killing Steve and Wendy Reid in 2022, had his conviction potentially tossed because police grabbed his phone data without a warrant, claiming he might flee. The higher court agreed the evidence shouldn’t have been admitted, ordering a new hearing. But the new judge, John Kissinger, sided with prosecutors, saying the data would’ve been found anyway — “inevitable discovery.” He also noted the police acted in good faith and that public safety demanded swift action. The Attorney General’s office is pleased. Clegg still has one last shot: appealing to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
