Swinton action ruled as legal
A Manhattan Federal Court judge ruled the FBI acted legally when it seized items from bombing suspect Patricia Swinton years ago. Judge Milton Pollack said the search of abandoned premises and seizure of the rifle, ammunition, and letters may be done without a warrant and does not violate Fourth Amendment rights as Swinton faces trial for conspiring with militants in 1969 to bomb eight targets in New York City.
