检察官寻求进入首都宪报枪击嫌疑人的监狱邮件；他的律师说这侵犯了他的权利

Prosecutors made an unusual request to the jailers holding Capital Gazette shooting suspect Jarrod Ramos: They want copies of any letters he sends or receives.

But on Thursday, Ramos’ attorney said the move violates his rights and that he intends to fight it in court.

法院记录并未表明为什么检察官希望访问邮件，但在袭击当天，警察说他至少邮寄了四个信件，威胁或威胁他的感知敌人。

众所周知，拉莫斯是一位多产的作家。在枪击事件发生前的几年中，他撰写了数百页法院文件和社交媒体帖子，对报纸和前高中同学提出了他的怨恨。

In another court filing, prosecutors said they wanted to use a recent filing by Ramos with the state’s top court in a grand jury investigation as they seek to indict him in the deaths of five Capital Gazette employees on June 28.

38岁的拉莫斯（Ramos）被指控去报纸的安纳波利斯（Annapolis）办公室，封锁后门，并用泵送shot弹枪炸毁了前门。

在死亡中，他被指控犯有五项一级谋杀罪罗布·希亚森（Rob Hiaasen）, 59, an assistant editor and columnist at the Capital;Wendi Winters, 65, a community correspondent;杰拉尔德·菲斯曼（Gerald Fischman）, 61, the editorial page editor;John McNamara，56岁，长期的体育作家；和丽贝卡·史密斯，34，新雇用的销售助理。

拉莫斯（Ramos）在安妮·阿伦德尔（Anne Arundel）县的詹妮弗路（Jennifer Road）拘留中心被拘留。

7月3日，安妮·阿伦德尔（Anne Arundel）县检察官办公室获得了传票，指示监狱提供“所有传入和传出邮件的经过认证的副本（前/返回信封，每2周交付一次）。

On Thursday, Ramos’ public defender, William Davis, filed a notice in court saying that he intended to challenge the subpoena.

戴维斯写道：“除其他问题外，该州的传票范围是违法的，构成了侵犯被告的宪法权利。”戴维斯补充说，拉莫斯援引他的正当程序权利和权利由律师代表。

戴维斯拒绝发表评论。该州检察官办公室也拒绝置评。

通常，人们的私人通讯受到严格的法律保护。检察官通常需要搜查令来访问犯罪嫌疑人的邮件，并获得法官的特殊授权，以窃听他们的电话。

监狱中的人们几乎没有相同的保护。

Lawyers not directly involved in the case said they had not heard of prosecutors’ asking for access to inmates’ mail, but jail phone calls are routinely recorded and prosecutors regularly make use of the tapes in criminal cases.

Inmates’ mail is generally not given any privacy protection and can be opened and inspected by jail authorities to make sure it doesn’t contain contraband. But inmates are given some privacy to write to their lawyers and receive mail from them because of attorney-client privilege.

Thomas Maronick, a Baltimore defense attorney not involved in the case, said Ramos’ lawyers are right to put up a fight because of the potential for prosecutors to obtain Ramos’ correspondence with them.

“这似乎是大门，”马洛尼克说。“这是一个巨大的机会，可以扩展超出允许的范围。”

公共辩护人试图阻止传票（被称为试图撤销）的试图可能导致谋杀起诉的早期法庭斗争。

巴尔的摩大学法学教授J.艾米·迪拉德（J. Amy Dillard）说，关于传票的争议很普遍，法官将能够解决检察官的任何过度诉讼 - 也许是通过在将邮件转换之前对邮件进行审查。

Dillard said the specific request for the mail seemed unusual and that prosecutors are likely looking to obtain evidence that would help establish Ramos’ motive.

她说：“那将是法律上的障碍，法律上的理由。”

Ramos left a lengthy paper trail over the years in court filings he wrote as he pursued his grudge against The Capital. It dates back to a 2011 article in the paper that reported on Ramos’ pleading guilty to harassing the former high school classmate.

The following year, Ramos sued the author of the article, the newspaper’s publisher and the company that owned it for defamation. He lost the case, and his appeals were rejected.

在首都公报的安纳波利斯新闻编辑室发生枪击事件的那天，拉莫斯在诽谤案中向州最高法院提出了“重新考虑动议”。

The same day prosecutors sought the subpoena for his mail, Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Wes Adams asked for Ramos’ motion for reconsideration to be sealed, using a Latin term to argue it was evidence of his mental state.

“诉状创造了请愿人参与和的直接证据男士在围绕2018年6月28日目前正在调查的枪击事件的指控中，”亚当斯写道。

亚当斯（Adams）要求法官“出于大陪审团的调查目的”使检察官访问该文件。

法官当天批准了该请求。

在密封文件之前，巴尔的摩的太阳获得了以拉莫斯的名义签署的“重新审议动议”www.my188.com的副本，该名称已由首都的前律师收到。它说，作家正在前往报纸办公室的路上，“目的是杀死每个人在场”。
