3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“(m) Prohibition on reproduction of child pornography.— (1) In any criminal proceeding, any property or material that constitutes child pornography (as defined by section 2256 of this title) shall remain in the care, custody, and control of either the Government or the court. (2) (A) Notwithstanding Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, a court shall deny, in any criminal proceeding, any request by the defendant to copy, photograph, duplicate, or otherwise reproduce any property or material that constitutes child pornography (as defined by section 2256 of this title), so long as the Government makes the property or material reasonably available to the defendant. (B) For the purposes of subparagraph (A), properly or material shall be deemed to be reasonably available to the defendant if the Government provides ample opportunity for inspection, viewing, and examination at a Government facility of the property or material by the defendant, his or her attorney, and any individual the defendant may seek to qualify to furnish expert testimony at trial.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Unlike in Knellinger, Wright’s forensic expert, Lavaty, claimed he was “comfortable” with the parties’ terms for providing Wright access to the hard drive. Wright was afforded fourteen months to conduct his examination and does not claim that the agreed upon terms entered into by the parties precluded Wright from pursuing a viable defense theory. Rather, Wright bases much of his argument on the fact that prior to the Adam Walsh Act being passed into law, the district court found that the government’s proposed terms of access “would hamper defendant’s preparation of this case,” and thus ordered the government to provide Wright a mirror copy of the hard drive. However, that ruling bears little, if any, relevance to whether the government’s proposed terms provided Wright with “ample opportunity” to examine the evidence.”
