The justices announced that ruling Monday, in a case involving one of the teens accused of setting a house fire that killed 5 family members. Denver Police arrested Gavin Seymour and two other teens tied to that arson, in August of 2020. The 5 people who died in that Green Valley Ranch fire were the Diol (joel) family from Senegal\u2014 a married mother and father, their 2-year-old, and the husband\u2019s sister along with her infant daughter. Investigators went months without leads, until they turned to Google, and the company shared all the names of people who\u2019d searched that home\u2019s address, leading to Seymour and his co-defendant. Seymour\u2019s lawyers appealed, claiming the search had been so broad, it was unconstitutional. Monday, the state Supreme Court found Denver acted in good faith, so the evidence found can be used at trial, and that murder case will move forward. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
