NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A prominent defense attorney charged with destroying evidence in a child pornography investigation said Thursday that authorities are overreaching in a way that could make parents, employers and others vulnerable to such prosecutions.
Philip Russell was charged Feb. 16 with destroying a computer that contained child pornography at Christ Church in Greenwich. Former President George H.W. Bush attended the church while growing up.
Russell, the former attorney for the church, is accused of obstructing an FBI investigation that led to the January conviction of the church's music director, Robert Tate, for possessing child pornography.
