Kilgore is returning to his questioning about Det. Murphy.
Officers can apply for warrants online. On the application, they state facts that they know to be true and correct. The detectives can talk to a magistrate judge directly.
A whole bunch of these search warrants were done by Det. Murphy, Kilgore said.
“If you become aware of any misstatements or errors in the case … do you have a mechanism by which to let anyone know about that?” Kilgore said.
And that information has been used to obtain a search warrant.
You can ask for legal advice from the district attorney’s office, Stoddard said. Or you can ask for a new search warrant, the detective explained.
Stoddard said the warrant could have been worded better. The warrants were rewritten for the same pieces of equipment and then taken out, he said.
