WELL, WELL, WELL....WHO WAS LYING???

[admin]

There were people on this board and on KiwiFarms that claimed I was lying and I was going to prison ... the truth is I WASN'T!!!

From Judici:

02/10/2026: SA, DEFENDANT WITH ATTY WYKOFF. COURT HEARS DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO SUPPRESS. COURT HEARS THE ARGUMENTS OF THE PARTIES. COURT NOTES THE FACTUAL BASIS IS AS FOLLOWS: A WARRANT WAS ISSUED ON 3/21/2018 TO SEIZE ANY AND ALL COMPUTER EQUIPMENT CONTAINED AT THE DEFENDANT'S RESIDENCE. THOSE COMPUTERS AND ITEMS SEIZED WERE TURNED OVER TO FBI ON 4/04/2018. ON 4/16/2018 THE STATE DISMISSED THE PRIOR CHARGES AND QUASHED ALL WARRANTS (EXHIBIT I). THEREAFTER THE FBI CONDUCTED A INVENTORY OF THOSES ITEMS ON 4/16/2018 AND THEN SEARCHED THOSE ELECTRONIC DEVICES THREE DAYS AFTER THAT AND FOUND EVIDENCE IN QUESTION 7 DAYS AFTER THE WARRANTS HAD BEEN QUASHED. A FEDERAL WARRANT WAS THEN SOUGHT 2 YEARS LATER. COURT FIRST FINDS AFTER 4/16/2018 WHEN THE CASE WAS DISMISSED AND SPECIFICALLY THE WARRANT WAS QUASHED THE FBI DID NOT HAVE LAWFUL AUTHORITY TO RETAIN THESE ITEMS LET ALONE TO BEGIN A SEARCH OF THOSE ITEMS 3 DAYS LATER AND SUBSEQUENTLY FINDING EVIDENCE 7 DAYS LATER IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE DEFENDANT'S 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS. MOTION TO SUPPRESS IS GRANTED AND CASE IS DISMISSED. COURT ORDERS ANY REMAINING BALANCE BE REFUNDED MINUS CLERKS FEES.




A simple version for those that can't read:

On February 10, 2026, the State’s Attorney, the defendant, and defense attorney Wykoff appeared in court for a hearing on the defendant’s motion to suppress evidence. Both sides presented their arguments.

The court summarized the facts as follows:

On March 21, 2018, a warrant was issued to seize all computer equipment from the defendant’s home.

Those items were turned over to the FBI on April 4, 2018.

On April 16, 2018, the State dismissed the original charges and officially quashed all warrants (as shown in Exhibit I).

Later that same day, April 16, the FBI performed an inventory of the seized items.

Three days after that, the FBI searched the electronic devices.

Seven days after the warrant had been quashed, the FBI found the evidence at issue.

A federal warrant was not sought until two years later.

The court found that once the case was dismissed and the warrant was quashed on April 16, 2018, the FBI no longer had any legal authority to keep the defendant’s property, let alone search it. Searching the devices after the warrant was quashed was a clear violation of the defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights.

The motion to suppress was granted, and the case was dismissed.

The court ordered that any remaining balance owed be refunded, minus clerk’s fees.

They state tried to argue that the good - faith exemption applied claiming that the FBI had a good - faith belief that the warrant was still valid. The judge stated that he hardly doubts that, shutting down the state's good - faith exemption for the FBI.

I am looking to sue them.

Subject: Inquiry Regarding Potential Civil Rights Case

Dear [Attorney’s Name],

My name is Todd Daugherty, and I am reaching out to ask whether your firm would be willing to review my situation for a potential civil rights action. I recently had a criminal case dismissed after the court granted my motion to suppress based on a clear Fourth Amendment violation.
On February 10, 2026, the Christian County Circuit Court held a hearing on my suppression motion. After hearing arguments from both sides, the judge made the following findings on the record:
A search warrant issued on March 21, 2018 authorized the seizure of my electronic devices.
Those devices were turned over to the FBI on April 4, 2018.
On April 16, 2018, the State dismissed the original charges and quashed all warrants.
Despite the warrants being quashed, the FBI conducted an inventory that same day, then searched the devices three days later, and located the evidence at issue seven days after the warrant had been quashed.
A federal warrant was not sought until two years later.
The judge found that once the warrants were quashed on April 16, 2018, the FBI had no lawful authority to retain or search my property. He stated that the search was a clear violation of my Fourth Amendment rights, rejected the State’s good‑faith argument, granted the motion to suppress, and dismissed the case.
I am seeking representation to determine whether I have a viable civil rights claim based on the unlawful search and retention of my property, and whether your office would be willing to evaluate the case.
If you are open to reviewing this matter, I can provide:
the full transcript of the suppression hearing,
the judge’s written order,
the docket history,
and any additional documentation you may need.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Todd E Daugherty

Did the FBI know??

From Discovery:

"On or about 05/10/2018, SA Arnold contacted Taylorville Police Department Deputy Chief Vince Childress via phone (217-820-6047) to update him on the status of the case. SA Arnold informed Deputy Chief Childress of the potential child pornography found on TODD'S computer. Deputy Chief Childress informed SA Arnold that TODD had been released from jail and the state charge against him, Felony Disorderly Conduct (Threat of Force- Schools), had been dropped by State's Attorney Havera. There was not sufficient evidence to hold TODD since it appeared the threatening post could have been made by someone else. SA Arnold informed Deputy Chief Childress that the FBI was planning to obtain a Federal search warrant for child pornography for TODD'S electronic devices currently in FBI custody."
