I do not think the scene was contaminated. I believe the bulk of evidence (aside from the laptop) was collected and preserved. Once the ME declared fentanyl, then the DEA was contacted and they did their own "search". But by then, the pills had been secured. The DEA search could have been to get a lay out of PP.


Out of curiousiy, was the lawyer in the search warrant a Bremer Trust lawyer?



It was a Bremer Trust lawyer who turned the laptop over.

Perhaps a little more complicated than that. As of the date that the search warrant for the laptop was carried out (April 26) the Bremner appointed lawyers were Laura Krishnan and Natasha Robertson
Those certificates of representation were filed April 26 after the emergency telephone conference hearing appointing Bremner. Gary Hansen is a partner at another firm and coincidently the former head of Criminal Investigations of Minnesota Attorney Generals office. I am assuming he was then appointed by Bremner to go over to Paisley and deal with the warrant ( and would going forward be the go to contact for anything of a criminal nature on behalf of Bremner). As of that date Hansen himself had no certificate of rep filed with the court.

Yes I mentioned I assumed he was appointed by Bremner in my previous reply. I'm just looking at it as a lawyer and being careful to distinguish who is who as he was not appointed by the court but by Bremner as an assist. That's common in cases where the representing lawyers need specialized legal assistance ( in this case corporate/commercial/estate needing criminal) but allows the assisting lawyer to remain at arms length beyond their limited retainer.( meaning Hansen cannot be blamed for other issues ie Tidal/tribute mess etc arising from estate matters if this makes sense).

Actually, she's right.

The chemical agent used in the Moscow theatre hostage crisis of 23 October 2002 has never been definitively revealed by the Russian authorities, though many possible identities have been speculated. An undisclosed incapacitating agent was used by the Russian authorities in order to subdue the Chechen terrorists who had taken control of a crowded theater.

At the time, the agent was surmised to be some sort of surgical anesthetic or chemical weapon. Immediately after the siege, Western media speculated widely as to the identity of the substance that was used to end the siege, and chemicals such as the tranquilizer diazepam (Valium), the anticholinergic BZ, the highly potent oripavine-derived Bentley-series opioid etorphine, another highly potent opioid, such as a fentanyl or an analogue thereof, such as 3-methylfentanil, and the anaesthetic halothane were proposed. Foreign embassies in Moscow issued official requests for more information on the gas to aid in treatment, but were publicly ignored. While still refusing to identify the gas, on October 28, 2002 the Russian government informed the U.S. Embassy of some of the gas's effects. Based on this information and examinations of victims, doctors concluded the gas was a morphine derivative. The Russian media reported the drug was Kolokol-1, either mefentanyl or α-methylfentanil dissolved in a halothane base.



Russia's statement[edit]


Two days after the incident, on October 30, 2002, Russia responded to increasing domestic and international pressure with a statement on the unknown gas by Health Minister Yuri Shevchenko.[2] He identified it as a fentanyl derivative,[3] an extremely powerful opioid. Boris Grebenyuk, the All-Russia Disaster Relief Service chief, said the services used trimethyl phentanylum (3-methylfentanyl, a fentanyl analog that is about 1000 times more potent than morphine, which was manufactured and abused in the former Soviet Union); New Scientist pointed out that 3-methylfentanyl is not a gas but an aerosol.[4] The research made by American scientists into fentanyl derivatives shows that their lethality level surpasses the efficiency of traditional lethal methods: the lethality degree of the chemical weapons used in World War I was 7%, while in the Dubrovka theater it exceeded 15%.[5]


Analysis[edit]


A German toxicology professor who examined several German hostages said that their blood and urine contained halothane, a once-common inhalation anaesthetic which is now seldom used in Western countries, and that it was likely the gas had additional components.[6] No other unusual chemical substances have been detected. However, halothane has a strong odor (although often defined as "pleasant" by comparison with other anesthetic gases). Thus, by the time the whole theatre area would be filled with halothane to a concentration compatible with loss of consciousness (0.5% - 3%), it is likely that Chechens inside would have realized they were being attacked. Additionally, recovery of consciousness is rapid after the flow of gas is interrupted, unlike with high-dose fentanyl administration. Therefore, although halothane might have been a component in the aerosol, it was probably not a major component,[6] or perhaps it was a metabolite of another drug.

We had a big discussion about chemcial warfare here a while back. I posted links about the people who were involved with the research and production of Fentanyl. I did find one site that had a wealth of information, but I was criticized here for posting it and was told that it had no validity. People can believe it or not.

From a practice perspective Purple Diamonds1 no that's not odd he would be retained by Bremner for his specific expertise. Just as, if you look at all the legal fees in the court records you will see other law firms fees ( and other experts/services) for work they completed on behalf of Bremner. Bremner is a financial institution. Darn right as the administrator I'd want a criminal law specialist over at Paisley for a warrant.

Why else would he be the one turning over the computer to the the police. Now the computer was moved from P's living quarters and it does say in the warrant that e-mail was his primary means of communicating. The laptop should have been confiscated on the 21st.

Here in New Hampshire we are in the top 5 states for opiod overdoses and the state recently moved to treat overdoses as CRIME SCENES. The thought being, that homicide law enforcement brings unique protocol and approaches for investigation.

As more time goes by, and less information given. I fear that any valuable lessons from Prince's passing, will never be able to help the ongoing opiod suffering.

I believe he would have wanted to help.

The contents of his email accounts were covered in separate warrants/orders to Google (these documents: http://www.mncourts.gov/m...dex-22.pdf , http://www.mncourts.gov/m...dex-21.pdf ). I don't think investigators were relying on the physical laptop for his email records.

You still can do foresics on the laptop and it should have been confiscated that day. I realize that no matter what anyone has to say you are going to defend the police despite the fact that I have said I do not feel anything was done in a malicious manner. Some people really do think that cops are in capable of making errors eek

They did do a forensic exam on the laptop. When the police filed the results of laptop warrant on May 6, the report notes "forensic computer examination" and the warrant specifies they planned "To have the above laptop/computers examined by a qualified forensic computer examiner for all data contained on either hard drives or removable media, including but not limited to: existing and deleted files." Unless a serious computer expert tampered with the laptop prior to its seizure, a professional forensic examination would have found pretty much anything.

-

Police make mistakes all the time, and the 4-day delay in seizing the laptop was probably a mistake, but it was likely a pretty inconsequential one. The investigators in this case may have made bigger mistakes but we don't have access to any evidence those.

They had an expert come in from Virgina and you can get a tech from Geek Squad or some college freshman to do forensics on a laptop but at least you admit police made a mistake. eek and someone on this board knows how to read and figure things out without being a reporter. Remember this entire conversation got started based on what came out of the Sheriff's own mouth.

Oh I absolutely agree that police make mistakes. They even said on the warrant for the laptop that they neglected to seize it on April 21 with the other stuff. Did I say somewhere that the police never makes mistakes? I don't remember saying thay anywhere.

-

The Carver County police are people and people make errors all the time (don't you?) but there's a difference between a small, routine error and something that's actually impacts the case. I do stand by my assessment that the info we have from the warrants and other reporting we have access to doesn't show to me a pattern of errors from the CCSO that would affect the investigation.

-

But, like everyone else on this board, I'm not an professional investigator so I try to have some humility when evaluating the process of people who ARE pros. I try to actually do some research into these things rather than jump to conclusions that other people are incompetent at their jobs.

They made a mstake not securing the laptop,

but I see that slip up, as possibly being beneficial to the case.

If emails and files were deleted after Prince passes,

then the suspects would be very few in number I imagine

I did not say you said that but you are constantly defending them or anyone with an official status as if they are incapable of being wrong. In my opinion that is how you come across. Do you realize the average cop has a high diploma? The screw up all the time and I think that they did not think this was anything more than a simple O.D (although from what I have read most people do not O.D. on pain pills unless they are mixed with other substances because of the constant vomiting) until they found out about the mislabeled pills.

I did not jump to conclusions and neither did anyone else. The actual comments of the sheriff were used as well as their own admission about leaving the laptop which was moved to the office. No one is jumping to anything and since these are public officials their actions should be scrutinized.

One of the problems in this country is the mindset that no one can be judged or held accountable for anything. It is ridiculous. Not noticing or questioning anything is how things go out of control in the first place.

Oh I absolutely agree that police make mistakes. They even said on the warrant for the laptop that they neglected to seize it on April 21 with the other stuff. Did I say somewhere that the police never makes mistakes? I don't remember saying thay anywhere.

The Carver County police are people and people make errors all the time (don't you?) but there's a difference between a small, routine error and something that's actually impacts the case. I do stand by my assessment that the info we have from the warrants and other reporting we have access to doesn't show to me a pattern of errors from the CCSO that would affect the investigation.

But, like everyone else on this board, I'm not an professional investigator so I try to have some humility when evaluating the process of people who ARE pros. I try to actually do some research into these things rather than jump to conclusions that other people are incompetent at their jobs.

They had an expert come in from Virgina and you can get a tech from Geek Squad or some college freshman to do forensics on a laptop but at least you admit police made a mistake. eek and someone on this board knows how to read and figure things out without being a reporter. Remember this entire conversation got started based on what came out of the Sheriff's own mouth.

Go points if someone screwing around with the computer they will find out and they will have some explaining to do. Let us hope a certain someone was not that stupid.

We all know a good expert computer forensic expert can get deleted files and find any other partitioned parts of the hard drive. Maybe they left it there to see if things were changed / deleted/ added? Everything is time stamped so any changes after 4/21 would be a clue.

.

And Laura, I don't know what state you live in but in NY you need at least 2 years / 60 college credits to become a police officer, especially the NYS Police. (They may need more training than they currently get with dealing with people/the public, but I don't believe they are not educated.)
