Commonwealth v. Maccini

Fabricant, Judith, J.

INTRODUCTION

The defendant is charged with possession of child pornography and related offenses. The charges arise from a search of his computer, pursuant to a warrant issued by a Massachusetts court, based in part on information obtained as a result of an undercover investigation conducted by a police officer in Ohio. Defendant contends that the evidence should be suppressed because that investigation involved secret interception and recording of electronic communications, in violation of Massachusetts law. For the reasons that will be explained, the motion will be denied.
