SUPERIOR COURT SIDES WITH DISTRICT ATTORNEY – HOMICIDE DEFENDANT’S CELL PHONE WAS LAWFULLY SEIZED
(MCKEAN COUNTY, Pennsylvania: March 20, 2024): District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that the Superior Court has reversed a McKean County Judge who had previously granted a defense motion to suppress the seizure of a homicide defendant’s cell phone.
On May 29, 2022, City of Bradford Police responded to a shooting death on Congress Street in front of the residence of Frederick Camejo. They notified DA Vettenburg-Shaffer who responded to the scene as did Chief County Detective Ryan Yingling. During the investigation, Officers were advised that the events leading up to the death had been captured on the home’s surveillance system. Bradford City Officers drafted a search warrant to seize the surveillance system and cell phones. Camejo was charged with Homicide. His defense filed a motion to suppress, asserting that the warrant did not contain probable cause to seize Camejo’s call phone – that is, that the warrant failed to contain facts to suggest that evidence of a crime would be found on the phone.
At the suppression hearing, Chief County Detective Ryan Yingling testified that he responds to scenes as an arm of the District Attorney’s Office – both to run, in essence, a parallel investigation for the DA but also to assist the responding officers, in this case City of Bradford Police. He went with City Officers in executing their warrant but his focus was on the surveillance system.
