Deputy swipes document from defense counsel

Amazing video.  Stories here and here (with a nod to Reason blog).  (If this doesn't get Monroe's blood boiling, I don't know what will.)  At the subsequent hearing the deputy could not explain his conduct except to suggest that he seized the document because it was proof of a crime.  But the judge would not hold the deputy in contempt unless the deputy could defend himself by discussing what he saw on the document -- and because the document was privileged, the deputy was forbidden to discuss the contents unless the defendant waived the privilege.  The defendant wouldn't waive, and so the judge didn't hold the deputy in contempt.  (If I were the judge I would have!)
