State v. Mahan

Details the appeal of James Mahan's conviction on 95 counts related to child pornography. Mahan challenged the denial of his motions to suppress evidence and compel discovery related to the Peer Spectre software used to identify his IP address. The court affirmed the trial court's decision, finding no violation of Mahan's Fourth Amendment rights, as the files were shared on a public peer-to-peer network, and the state was not required to provide the source code to Peer Spectre. However, the court did remand the case with instructions to reclassify Mahan as a Tier II sex offender, correcting a clerical error. The court found that there was sufficient cause to issue the search warrant based on the totality of the circumstances presented.
