Judge may decide on smoke shop e-mails today

The state police may be required to hand over their computers to a specialist who will try to recover deleted emails.

A judge in the trial of seven Narragansett Indians accused of misdemeanors stemming form the 2003 smoke shop raid is expected to make a decision on the matter today.

Defense lawyers subpoenaed state police last month for all documents related to the raid. The state supplied hundreds of pages of e-mails, witness statements, a civilian complaint, and recorded comments of one of the defendants.

Still, Superior Court Judge Susan E. McGuirl said yesterday, “there’s no assurance they have all the statements now."
