Police seized computers, personal cellphones and a router from the newspaper, but all items were released Wednesday after the county prosecutor concluded there Late Saturday, the Record’s attorney, Bernie Rhodes, provided copies of the affidavits used in the raid to The Associated Press and other news media.
Cody wrote in the affidavit that the Department or Revenue told him that those who downloaded the information were Record reporter Phyllis Zorn and someone using the name “Kari Newell.”As a result, Cody wrote: “Downloading the document involved either impersonating the victim or lying about the reasons why the record was being sought.”
Meyer said Zorn actually contacted the Department of Revenue before her online search and was instructed how to search records. The newspaper had Newell’s driver’s license number and date of birth because a source provided it, unsolicited, Meyer said. State Attorney General Kris Kobach has said he doesn’t see the KBI’s role as investigating the conduct of the police. that protects journalists from having their newsrooms searched.
He defended the raid in a Facebook post soon after it happened, saying the federal law shielding journalists from newsroom searches makes an exception specifically for “when there is reason to believe the journalist is taking part in the underlying wrongdoing.”
