Lawyers argue police had no right to raid apartment where Springfield murder suspect was found

SPRINGFIELD -- The complex, multi- defendant case involving  the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Kenneth Lopez was back in court Wednesday , with four defense lawyers arguing police should not have been granted a warrant to search an apartment where the accused shooter was arrested. While the murder warrant that led to the arrest of Lee Rios isn't in dispute, the attorneys have taken issue with the broader search warrant , which led to the arrest of three other people on gun charges. But a prosecutor in the case told Hampden Superior Court Judge Constance M. Sweeney Wednesday the search warrant was justified because the 196 Nursery St. apartment was the first place Lee Rios went after the slaying -- making it he most likely location for investigators to find forensic evidence .  Lee Rios, 24, is charged with murder in the killing of Lopez, whose body was found around noon on March 25, 2015, in the yard of a house at Dwight and Calhoun streets in the city's North End.

Judge orders DreamHost to turn over inauguration protest website data

A judge ruled Thursday that web hosting company DreamHost must turn over data from an Inauguration Day protest website to federal prosecutors looking to find evidence against people charged with rioting during the event. D.C. Superior Court Chief Judge Robert Morin said there would be safeguards in place to address First Amendment concerns raised by the company, which said it was “problematic” to turn over such sensitive information. As a result of the ruling, investigators will be able to review emails related to the website DisruptJ20 .org and identify those who sent and received communications through the domain. But the judge, who ruled from the bench, ordered the government to abide by strict rules to minimize the collection of information about individuals who communicated through the website but committed no crime. “I am going to be supervising their search,” Judge Morin told the lawyers. The Justice Department said it’s no longer looking for casual visitors to the websit...

D.C. court approves DOJ warrant for anti-Trump website data

A D.C. Superior Court judge on Thursday ruled in favor of the Department of Justice's ability to exercise a search warrant for data related to an anti-Trump website the DOJ believes is connected to plans for violent Inauguration Day riots . The Justice Department had originally sought a slew of records related to the website Disruptj20 .com from its website hosting company , DreamHost, including HTTP visitor logs that would reveal IP addresses for all of the website's visitors. But DreamHost objected to the Justice Department's request and said it could reveal 1.3 million visitors' identities. The DOJ earlier this week said that it was revising its warrant to include a date range on material it requested, to exclude all visitor logs and the website's draft blog posts that were never published. Chief Judge Robert E. Morin granted that revised request Thursday , although DreamHost fears the DOJ will still access some IP addresses given that it will still be abl...

Todd also asked for the public’s help in searching all types of structures from garages to Dumpsters to unoccupied apartments for signs of the missing woman.
