Judge: Searches were legal in Landstown bomb plot investigation:

Circuit Judge Edward W. Hanson Jr. ruled recently that the search done on the home of Philip Bay was legal.

Bay, as you may recall, is accused of being the lead conspirator in a plot to attack Landstown High School in Virginia Beach.

Bay’s mother testified that she did not consent to a search and did not have a friend retrieve sawed-off shotguns from the attic after police left the house the first time. Judge Hanson called her testimony “selective recall.”

Burn.
