Ever since he was incarcerated, Michael White made a habit of informing local media of his situation.


One reporter he spoke to frequently was 630 CHED's Byron Christopher (seen behind Edmonton Journal reporter Jim Farrell).


White had recently spoken to Christopher over his loss of possession of the house he co-owned with his wife Liana.


He also spoke of his plans to take the stand at his murder trial, leaving himself open to cross-examination by the Crown.


It seemed Edmonton police were listening to the report and wanted to know more. They served the station with a warrant.


"Their warrant was for copies of all materials related to the White case," said Chris Gardner, a reporter for 630 CHED.


The officers left with some audio recordings, Gardner said.


630 CHED Radio itself was the first to report the news of the court-ordered request.


A copy of the search warrant can be seen here.



The trial continued October 25th, 2006
