United States Ninth Circuit

In a prosecution for possession of child pornography, grant of a motion to suppress evidence obtained in computer searches is reversed where: 1) the totality of the circumstances allowed for a reasonable inference from facts set out in an affidavit that defendant was not an accidental recipient of emails with attachments containing illicit child pornography; and 2) consequently, a warrant was supported by probable cause and evidence obtained pursuant to it should not have been suppressed.
