EVIDENCE PROPERLY ADMITTED AT TRIAL PURSUANT TO THE CRIME-FRAUD EXCEPTION TO THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE, THE SEARCH WARRANT WAS EXECUTED AT AND THE EVIDENCE WAS SEIZED FROM THE SARATOGA COUNTY PUBLIC DEFENDER’S OFFICE (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, in affirming defendant’s predatory sexual assault against a child and child pornography convictions, noted that evidence was seized from the Saratoga County Public Defender’s Office and the evidence was admissible at trial pursuant to the crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege. The facts are not described in any detail:

Defendant … contends that County Court improperly denied his motion to suppress items seized from the Saratoga County Public Defender’s office * * *.  … [U]pon review of the search warrant application and accompanying sworn statements, we conclude that County Court properly determined that there was probable cause to issue the warrant … . With respect to defendant’s claim of attorney-client privilege, we find that the crime-fraud exception applied because there was reasonable cause to believe that the items seized pursuant to the search warrant constituted physical evidence of a crime and that their delivery to counsel was for the purpose of concealing evidence, not for seeking legal advice … . People v Gannon, 2019 NY Slip Op 05591, Third Dept 7-11-19
