So it appears warrants can't be retroactively justified. If anything it's the original warrant that delegitimizes subsequent resulting warrants:<BR/><BR/>"Switzer said that rather than seek a court order requiring CPS to share its DNA results, the AG’s office appears to want new evidence not attained by the “debacle” surrounding the initial investigation at the Yearning for Zion Ranch in April.<BR/><BR/>Switzer said any evidence problems surrounding the search warrant used to enter the ranch also taints the new search warrants.<BR/><BR/>“How would they even know that [about Keate's child] if it weren’t for the illegal raid on the ranch to begin with?” he said.S931Coderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609807805714986516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-62550761360754537352008-08-23T15:20:00.000-04:002008-08-23T15:20:00.000-04:00Of course the state will contend she is not marrie...Of course the state will contend she is not married until they wish to convict her husband of bigamy, and then they will contend he is married.<BR/><BR/>I don't know how legally they can have it both ways, but it sure looks as if they intend to.Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-57463858520959510822008-08-23T15:14:00.000-04:002008-08-23T15:14:00.000-04:00Close but no cigar.

That indicates that they didn't know about her while executing the first warrant. But even if they did, that would only validate a search of her own home, not the other 85 homes, the church, and the cheese factory.S931Coderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609807805714986516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-48450233549710393242008-08-23T12:59:00.000-04:002008-08-23T12:59:00.000-04:00You don't have to prove "bad faith" or a conspirac...You don't have to prove "bad faith" or a conspiracy, just recklessness or absence of due dilligence (cell phone id?) or bigotry (assuming or purporting to assume at the outset FLDS were not credible, thefore discounting the phone call to Dale Barlow).<BR/><BR/>And what's up with Veda Keate? She's 19, not underage like the state claimed. How can she validate the probable cause the state claims it "saw" while looking for Sarah?S931Coderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609807805714986516noreply@blogger.com
