Evidence OK for child porn child

A judge has ruled that evidence seized in a child pornography case against a former Brattleboro teacher can be introduced at trial. Sixty-year-old Eric Achenbach taught at Brattleboro Union High School for 31 years before the charges were filed. He was arrested last year after hunters found a chest filled with child porn in the woods near his Vernon home. Achenbach argued police seized the chest illegally and said the evidence should be thrown out. A judge ruled on Tuesday that the evidence could be admitted because Achenbach's property was not posted as "No Trespassing."
