ICAC Case Law: US V. Syphers (2005)

In United States v. Syphers (2005), the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a delay in executing a search warrant for a computer does not invalidate the warrant or render evidence inadmissible, as long as there is no lapse in probable cause or showing of prejudice to the defendant from the delay. The court upheld the denial of Syphers' motion to suppress evidence of child pornography recovered from his computer.
