W.D.N.Y.: Ongoing murder investigation with other SWs executed did not make this SW stale

Three weeks passed in a murder investigation between officers thinking they might have to search and getting the search warrant. Other search warrants were obtained in the interim, and the investigation was ongoing. The delay was reasonable. United States v. Clark, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 191627 (W.D.N.Y. Oct. 4, 2021).

Defendant consented to recording and monitoring of jail phone calls. The inmate handbook explains it, and it’s not ambiguous. It’s not presented as a Fourth Amendment claim, but, if it was, there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy in jail calls. United States v. Salgado, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 191905 (D.N.J. Oct. 5, 2021).*

There was probable cause for the search warrant, and the good faith exception also applies. United States v. Clark, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 191627 (W.D.N.Y. Oct. 5, 2021);* United States v. Padron-Perez, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 192109 (W.D.N.Y. Oct. 4, 2021).*
