The issue I'm seeing with the whole case is they siezed his phone, they kept his phone, the seizure of his property happened successfully. A person later entered something they believed would open it but instead it wiped it. The end user didn't wipe it, and didn't lie to the agents of the state because a duress PIN is still a PIN, I'm willing to wager they didn't specify that they wanted his 'unlock PIN' and instead just asked him for a PIN (personal identification number), which he gave.
That's court fodder, and unfortunately, I don't believe it'll pass.
Yeah, sadly I don't think it will either, I'm just hoping the jury decides the precedent they truly want to set.
