A judge has tossed out cellphone evidence that prosecutors were hoping to use against the former chief firearm ballistics expert for the Delaware State Police.
State police in January obtained a court order under Delaware’s wiretap statute compelling disclosure of Carl Rone’s cellphone records as they investigated allegations that he falsified time sheets. The information included historical call detail records, with cell site location information, or CSLI, for a two-year period from January 2016 to January 2018.
