AF: Telling wife in jail call to delete a social media account AFOSI was looking to search was obstruction

While defendant was in pretrial confinement, he called his wife and instructed her to delete a social media account that the government was intending to search. This led to his obstruction charge. The call was monitored by the jail. United States v. Wells, 2023 CCA LEXIS 222 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. May 23, 2023).

The search warrant here for an Asian massage parlor as a location of sex trafficking based on an 87-page affidavit was based on probable cause and was not stale. United States v. Jing Chen, 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 89524 (D. Minn. May 23, 2023).*

2254 petitioner claimed he could overcome the Stone bar because the trial judge cavalierly denied all suppression motions and wasn’t neutral and detached. Nothing supports that factually. Still, it had to be raised in state court, too. Boyce v. Shoop, 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 89618 (S.D. Ohio May 22, 2023).*

The district court erred in not dismissing one officer from a § 1983 case over a search because he had nothing to do with it. Tuttle v. Sepolio, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 12728 (5th Cir. May 23, 2023).*
