State’s highest court rejects appeal by Neil Entwistle

The state’s highest court has upheld the murder convictions of Neil Entwistle, the Hopkinton man who killed his wife and 9-month-old daughter in their home in 2006.

“None of the defendant’s claims on appeal warrants reversal of the convictions. We have reviewed the entire trial record ... and conclude that the defendant received a fair trial that was ably tried and judged,” the Supreme Judicial Court said in an opinion released today.

A police academy graduate could have told this guy's lawyer about the "emergency exception" to a warrantless search. The police were looking for two missing persons in their own home, with a request from the victims' family. Obviously that is an emergency. This case was a waste of the court's time.
