The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that a slain Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter’s personal devices and other records are protected even after death
A slain Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter's personal devices and other records are protected even after death, the Nevada Supreme Court has ruled. The state's highest court ruled Thursday that Nevada's shield law, which protects journalists from disclosing sources, precludes Las Vegas police and prosecutors from going through Jeff German's things, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Glenn Cook, the newspaper's executive editor, applauded the court. He argued letting authorities search German's devices and discriminate what is protected under press privilege 'is like the fox guarding the henhouse.” Attorneys for investigators have said the devices must be searched for evidence to build a case in German's slaying.
