Prosecutors could be abusing their pre-indictment subpoena power when they seize evidence in child pornography cases, according to a Rapid City attorney.
Ellery Grey appeared in court Monday with Wesley Leach, a former city information technology specialist who is charged with possession, manufacture and distribution of child pornography.
Leach, 51, was arrested in October. He remains free on bond.
Grey informed Circuit Judge Janine Kern that he plans to file a written challenge that could require an evidentiary hearing to state his case.
Leach returns to court on Monday, Dec. 16.
Bert Twiggs, the former Douglas School District technology director facing child pornography charges, also made a brief court appearance on Monday.
Twiggs' attorney, Paul Eisenbraun, is still waiting for a forensic expert to examine a clone of the suspect's hard drive. Kern set Twiggs' next court appearance for Dec. 23. ..Source.. by Journal Staff
