A judge has declared that he is 'not persuaded' by the prosecutor's argument to monitor communications between Karen Read and her lawyer, which involve blogger Aidan Kearney, also known as 'Turtleboy'. In a separate but related case, a 'search team' of newspaper staff and attorneys has been authorized to access the phone and computers of murdered Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German. Further investigations have uncovered that Karen Read allegedly conspired with Kearney to report on the matter since last April. A 31-page search warrant was issued for Read's phones as part of Special Prosecutor Ken Mello's witness intimidation investigation, distinct from the murder case. The documents allege a conspiracy between Read and Kearney and detail their close communication.
