Cat Blamed for Crime
www.loweringthebar.net/2026/04/cat-blamed-for-crime.htmlThe Fourth Circuit upheld the conviction of a man who illegally accessed and leaked Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s private health information. The court found it was not an abuse of discretion to deny the defendant’s motion to exclude statements made during an interview, including his claim that his cat typed the incriminating search term. The defendant also faced charges for destroying evidence after agents recovered information from his home computer.
