Boston Globe
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Associate Justice Margot Botsford on Thursday said that Boston College and Massachusetts State Police had insufficient evidence to search the dorm room of BC senior Riccardo Calixte. During the search police confiscated a variety of electronic devices including three laptop computers two iPod music players and two cellphones. Police obtained a warrant to search Calixte’s dorm after a roommate accused him of breaking into the school’s computer network to change other students’ grades and of spreading a rumor via e-mail that the roommate is gay. Botsford said the search warrant affidavit presented considerable evidence that the e-mail came from Calixte’s laptop computer. But even if it did she said spreading such rumors is probably not illegal. Botsford also said that while breaking into BC’s computer network would be criminal activity the affidavit supporting the warrant presented little evidence that such a break-in had taken place.
