The search was conducted in Smith’s Lowell House dorm room. Smith, who was a Harvard senior and Copney’s girlfriend at the time of the shooting, has been charged with serving as an accessory after the fact to the murder, among other counts.
Rulings on the admissibility of the jacket and the treatment of the New York crime are likely to be handed down early next week, according to Amabile.
Copney’s trial is scheduled to begin on April 4.
