Entwistle Appeals to State Supreme Court
After his conviction, Neil Entwistle's lawyers have been arguing that police entered his house illegally.
Arguments in Neil Entwistle's appeal of his murder conviction are expected to be heard by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on April 6.
According to a boston.com story, Entwistle's lawyer is saying that police entered the house illegally on two separate occasions.
"Entwistle’s lawyer, Stephen Paul Maidman, argues that evidence taken from the couple’s rented house in Hopkinton was seized illegally because police did not have the right to search the home without a warrant," the article says.
