A judge denied a defense request to modify the screening process for records in the case of Teresa Youngblut, who is charged with murdering a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont. The defense claimed the system allowed privileged information to be disclosed to prosecutors, but the judge ruled the protocol adequately protects attorney-client communications.

Teresa Youngblut faces federal murder charges for the killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Vermont. Her attorney claims evidence shows the stop was conducted under false pretenses, disputing federal authorities' account of the incident.
