Respectfully snipped for space:
FWIW, Jane Doe is not the anonymous informant your case law speaks of. She is not a phone tipster who called in and said, "Colonel Mustard did it, in the Conservatory, with the revolver!", hung up, and police cannot identify her, the defense can never question her. The officer interviewed her on the phone, then in person,
at her residence, then took possession of her cell phone to analyze. The state could reasonably subpoena her at trial. A defense lawyer could question her. LE knows who she is.
To review the reasons you've cited the warrant may not be valid:
Answer: The warrant wasn't for zoophilic




. It was for evidence of bestiality.
The basis of concern slightly shifts here, the emphasis now a 'meeting the standard', yet underscored by lack of pet ownership, and still including the legality of zoophilic




:
Answer: There is no legal standard that maintains an animal must be owned by a person being served a search warrant for evidence of bestiality. The 'owning zoophilic




is legal' is a red herring. It was never in question. Again, the warrant wasn't looking for legal zoophilic




, no one has argued its legality.
Argument completely changes then to:
Your own quoted case law states:
They did do an independent police investigation that corroborates the informant's statements. They examined her phone.
Some basis for the knowledge is demonstrated. Note it does not say
all must be demonstrated. It would be intellectually dishonest to say none of the
basis of her knowledge is found on the texts. Nothing mentioned in the above case law states 'verbatim transcript via text must back up statement.'
The goal posts have moved considerably from the initial reason cited why you believe the warrant may not hold up. I'm sure the defense attorney will try them all, as you have--that's his/her job, and I'd expect no less. I remain confident the warrants will stick, as will the evidence. We shall have to wait and see what happens.
I really am ready to move on topic-wise, but I did enjoy the discourse, so thanks! :seeya:
