Christopher Floyd Boder In executing the warrant, police seized an empty rifle case and ammunition that was said to match a spent cartridge located near Nelson s body. Peterson s attorney, Matthew Benfield, asked the court in December to schedule a hearing, at which police officers and other witnesses could be called to testify about the basis for the warrant.
