MANCHESTER, N.H.- Logan Clegg is challenging a judge’s ruling in which his appeal of a cellphone used as evidence against him at trial was denied.

Attorneys for the convicted murder argued Police investigating the murders of Steven and Wendy Reid did not follow the proper procedures for a warrant when they obtained his cellphone data.

The appeal comes after a Superior Court judge last month said police were acting in “good faith” and that there was no proof of any misconduct.

This resulted in Cleggs attorneys pushing back with a claim that the judge among other things made a mistake by defining “good faith.”
