明尼苏达州一名法官撤销了他上月发布的一项命令，该命令要求联邦调查人员保留亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti）被移民局官员枪杀现场收集的证据。
美国地区法官亚历克斯·托斯特鲁德（Alex Tostrud）表示，他正在解除普雷蒂枪击案发生当天发布的紧急命令。该命令禁止多个联邦调查机构销毁或篡改与该事件相关的任何证据，因为他已从联邦官员那里得到保证，证据将得到妥善保管。
这位由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命的法官，在明尼苏达州刑事调查局（Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension，BCA）和亨内平县检察官办公室（Hennepin County Attorney’s Office）在法庭上提出担忧后，应其请求实施了这一要求。他们担心，如果没有他的干预，他们自己对该事件的调查工作可能会受到破坏。
托斯特鲁德在一份18页的判决书中写道：“尽管记录并非单方面的，但大部分证据表明，在本案审理期间，被告不太可能销毁或不当篡改与普雷蒂先生枪击事件相关的证据，且其他相关考虑因素从整体上并不倾向于继续维持证据保全令。”
法官写道：“临时限制令的条款与被告的证据保全政策并没有实质性区别。持续的证据保全令——以及随之而来的藐视法庭权力——不仅会覆盖被告的保全政策，还会覆盖任何可能改变证据的调查措施。”
明尼苏达州刑事调查局告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN），与联邦调查人员就案件证据共享的谈判仍在进行中，并补充说他们“希望”能够达成协议。然而，到目前为止，联邦调查局（FBI）和国土安全调查局（Homeland Security Investigations）尚未与地方调查人员分享信息。
在他的裁决中，托斯特鲁德继续表示，“检查和测试往往会使证据在测试后处于与测试前不同的状态”，而根据他现已撤销的命令，这种潜在的变化将迫使他在政府对枪击案的调查中扮演他所谓的不当角色。
托斯特鲁德写道：“对于这些类型的调查措施是否符合证据保全令的合理担忧，可能会促使被告寻求司法指导。这反过来会将法院卷入被告的调查中，而不仅仅是他们的证据保全工作。”
BCA此前曾被排除在对明尼苏达州另一名美国公民勒妮·古德（Renee Good）被联邦探员枪杀的早期联邦调查之外，而托斯特鲁德审理的这起诉讼代表了州调查人员为确保日后能获取证据进行自身检查的急切努力。
联邦调查局一名官员在上个月的法庭文件中宣誓称，“证据由训练有素的证据收集人员包装”，他们佩戴了正确的个人防护装备，并使用防篡改证据胶带包装证据。联邦调查局收集的证据存放在明尼阿波利斯现场办公室的一个安全证据室中，该证据室有严格的出入控制。

Judge wipes away order requiring feds to preserve evidence gathered at Alex Pretti shooting scene

A Minnesota judge has wiped away an order he issued last month that required federal investigators to preserve evidence gathered at the scene of Alex Pretti’s fatal shooting by immigration officers.
US District Judge Alex Tostrud said he was lifting the emergency order he issued the day of Pretti’s shooting that barred various federal investigatory offices from destroying or altering any evidence related to the incident because he had gotten assurances from federal officials that evidence would be properly maintained.
The judge, an appointee of President Donald Trump, had imposed the requirement at the behest of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office after they raised concerns in court that their own investigative efforts into the incident could be undermined absent his intervention.
“Though the record is not one-sided, the greater weight of the evidence shows Defendants are not likely to destroy or improperly alter evidence related to Mr. Pretti’s shooting during the life of this case, and other relevant considerations do not on balance favor a continuing preservation order,” Tostrud wrote in an 18-page decision.
“The temporary restraining order’s terms are not meaningfully different from defendants’ preservation policies,” the judge wrote. “An ongoing preservation order – and the contempt power that accompanies it – would overlay, not just defendants’ preservation polices, but any investigative measures that might alter evidence.”
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension told CNN that talks with federal investigators on sharing evidence in the case are ongoing, adding that they are “hopeful” an agreement can be reached. Thus far, however, the FBI and Homeland Security Invesdtigations have not shared information with local investigators.
In his ruling, Tostrud went on to say that “examination and testing often leave evidence in a different condition after testing than it was before” and that such potential changes occurring under his now-dissolved order would have forced him to play what he described as an improper role in the government’s investigation into the shooting.
“Legitimate concerns over whether those types of investigative measures comply with a preservation order might reasonably prompt defendants to seek judicial direction,” Tostrud wrote. “That, in turn, would inject the court into Defendants’ investigation, not just their evidence preservation.”
The BCA had been iced out of an earlier federal probe into a different fatal shooting of a US citizen, Renee Good, by federal agents in Minnesota and the lawsuit before Tostrud represented a frenzied effort by the state investigators to ensure they’d later have access to the evidence for their own inspection.
An FBI official swore in court papers last month that “evidence was packaged by trained evidence collectors” who wore the correct personal equipment and packaged the evidence in tamper-proof evidence tape. The evidence the FBI collected is in a secure evidence room with controlled access in the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office.
