Is it Magistrate shopping or normal procedure for the same Deputy Sheriff that wrote the arrest warrant for George Zinn to be using different Magistrates and be involved in writing the warrants for Tyler Robinson's phone, the hospital CCTV footage and Tyler's warrant to search his home?
Deputy sheriff Michael George Carle wrote warrants:
3215271 for George Zinn arrest and to seize his phone on the 15th September.
Signed by Magistrate Sean Petersen.
3212321 for the hospital CCTV footage on the 10th .
Signed by Magistrate Barbara Finklinson.
3213811 for Tyler's iPhone on the 12th.
Signed by Magistrate Kraig Powell
And 3213511 to search Tyler's home. Signed by Magistrate Jay Winward.
Why is a Deputy Sheriff writing the warrants and why is it multiple different Magistrates signing off on them?
Were any warrants denied or rejected?
Did he need to shop around to find a friendly?
Why did the hospital CCTV footage get priority, what was so important about the hospital footage?
Why did it take 5 days to do a full arrest warrant for George Zinns and to seize and search phone?
He'd already given them permission to look at his phone and been arrested for obstruction and Csam.
Can anyone please explain this to me like I'm 5.
