Judge Allows Evidence From Warrantsless Search
In Gallup a judge ruled that investigators may introduce evidence gathered without a search warrant, despite defense claims of rights violations. Randall Roberts argued that items seized before a warrant was issued should not reach the jury in the racketeering and stolen property case against Vincent Lopez Sr. and related charges. The trial included a Monday morning jury selection after hearings on suppression and witness testimony about the July 8, 1993, arrests at the Lopez home.
