According to Heather's testimony (Jason's sister) she said they had a search warrant and instructed them to put their things back in the SUV. Mrs, Young also testified to the same thing, I don't believe she was allowed to even have her medicine.
Another thing about the SUV though, Jason brought it back to Raleigh, if he had something to hide, any evidence at all to connect him to the murder, why bring the SUV back? And, this is a little out there, but why not run? He never ran, not even when he was out on bail and things looked bleak. That says a lot to me.
The killer of Kathy Taft is asking for a new trial because LE failed to properly obtain a search warrant for his trash. It will be a shame for taxpayers if his request is granted ('cuz my opinion is the guy is guilty beyond all doubt.) Not following proper LE procedure seems to be accepted practice in that area and it has accomplished nothing worthwhile.
