A federal judge has postponed an illegal Internet gambling trial to determine whether FBI agents went beyond the law when they entered Las Vegas hotel suites without a warrant and obtained information from the computers of the suspects, the Associated Press reports.
The Jan. 12 trial date was vacated pending a ruling on the warrantless search.
U.S. Magistrate Juge Peggy Leen said she expects to decide soon whether the rights of Wei Seng Phua and his son Darren Kit Phua were violated.
Defense attorneys argued the case she be tossed out because agents had no right to pose as repairman to fix bogus Internet problems.
