A judge in Sacramento refused Thursday to toss out the evidence in the bizarre March 2015 kidnapping of Denise Huskins in Vallejo, saying police did not overstep their bounds when they used the suspect’s cellphone to track him down in a separate burglary case.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Troy Nunley leaves the case against Matthew Muller, a former attorney and U.S. Marine, intact and on schedule for a jury trial set for Jan. 30.
