Prosecutors in the Logan Clegg double-murder case say that even without the evidence that led to his arrest, the Concord Police Department would have eventually tracked him down through legal methods. A retired lieutenant is set to testify that the department would have used "all available legal methods" to find Clegg on October 11, 2022, after the killings of a Concord couple.

Why it matters

This case has raised questions about the limits of police investigative powers and the legal standards for obtaining evidence. Prosecutors' claims that Clegg would have been found anyway, even without the disputed evidence, could impact how the court views the admissibility of that evidence and the overall strength of the state's case.

The details

Prosecutors say a retired Concord Police lieutenant will testify that the department had other means beyond the disputed evidence to track down Clegg as a suspect in the double homicide. The lieutenant will claim the police would have used "all available legal methods" to find Clegg on the day after the killings, even if the specific evidence that led to his arrest had not been obtained.

  • The double murders of a Concord couple occurred on October 11, 2022.
