My blood boils thinking about this evidence being excluded. It was perfectly fine to introduce secondary evidence of MR's behavior after Tori's murder (with the judge several times explaining to the jury that caddish behavior isn't necessarily indicative of guilt) was allowed in. I don't see how his pre-murder behavior is any different.
As to the legality, I think in any Western legal system, what would matter is what the law is at the time the warrant is issued.
The whole secondary search warrant for the computer seems stupid to me anyway. When a search warrant is issued for a computer, isn't the assumption that 99% of the time LE will be looking at emails, searches, files, deleted files, etc., rather than looking for fingerprints or blood evidence in the keyboard?
