State v. Fowler

Court of Appeals of Washington

Decided May 24, 2005No. 31562-9-IIPublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

¶1 —A jury convicted Alexander L. Fowler of two counts of first degree incest, two counts of second degree incest, and one count of second degree rape. Fowler appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress two tape-recorded telephone conversations between him and the victim. He argues that because the calls were recorded without his consent, the recordings violated his privacy rights under RCW 9.73.030(l)(a) and were inadmissible. He also contends that the trial court erroneously applied the “silver platter”1 doctrine. Finding no error, we affirm.
