As Josh Duggar's trial grows closer, he and his attorneys continue to make demands regarding potential evidence used in the case against him. According to court documents obtained by the Sun, Josh's legal team wants photos of his hands and feet deleted — apparently, it was "illegal" to take them in jail in the first place. Wait, what?
Apparently, Josh was required to pose for photos showing his hands and feet while in jail.
According to the court documents, law enforcement took the photos without a warrant and without his lawyer present, and because they were an "intrusion on [his] personal rights," they're asking that the photos be thrown out.
The documents noted that Josh's hands and feet were "manipulated and he was required to pose for the photographs."
The documents also claim that Josh was kept from speaking with his attorney.
His lawyers are claiming that federal agents didn't give him the chance to talk to his attorney while all of this was going on — another reason they want these photographs thrown out.
"Duggar expressly asserted his constitutional right to consult with his attorney, attempted to exercise that right, and law enforcement stunningly reacted by physically preventing him from exercising that right," the documents read.
As strange as it sounds, these photos could end up being key in Josh's case.
Although it certainly sounds bizarre that Josh's lawyers are making such a point to discard these photos, they might have an important reason for doing so. Because Josh's trial includes allegations involving child sexual abuse material, his hands and feet might be used to identify if he's actually in any of the material that law enforcement recovered during their investigation.

Shouldn’t there be photos of some other part of his body besides his hands and feet?
Jus’ sayin’.
It’s a sad sad case. If he’s in the child pornography as an abuser, that would possibly involve many other charges.
That boy is in a heap of trouble.
but wait, there is more. He blames trump next article
Bad nail day?
Who is this “Josh” fellow?
Former TLC reality star. 19 Kids and Counting. Josh is the reason the show was canceled.
And yet his idiot wife will gladly stay by him while popping out baby after baby..... the whole clan is weird as heck. The parents adamantly denied that Josh was a Pedo because he was 12 and not 13 when he molested his young sisters and a baby sitter.
I wish I knew but Eight is Enough.
Ooops...should be “threat of death”!
But he wears a cross around his neck.
Doesn’t that get him a pass?
I heard he is going to be in the Batman movie. His character is called “The Diddler”.
I thought that a description of Bill Clinton’s johnson was the ultimate invasion of privacy.
But at least his lawyer provided that.

Not if the pics get tossed because they were done without a warrant and while denying an explicit request to talk to his lawyer first.
It wouldn’t be the first case to get tossed because outraged cops thought they didn’t have to follow due process rules because they don’t like a defendant.
I understand the emotion, but not the lack of professionalism.
Nah, I think ‘treat’ works too. If you were forced to watch enough hours of the Duggar train-wreck, you might actually start to think that death might be a treat by comparison. :P
when locked up after arrest they take body shots of all identifying marks and tattoos
apparently you never had the “bend over and spread them or lift it and separate them”
