Prosecutors in an Arkansas murder trial have been attempting to obtain possible voice recordings from an Amazon Echo device that may be key evidence in the trial. But Amazon is claiming that Alexa, the voice of the Echo, has First Amendment rights and in the interest of protecting the customer's privacy and rights refuses to give up the recordings without legal requirement to do so, according to Forbes. The Echo product in question belongs to James Andrew Bates who's friend Victor Collins was found dead in Bates's hot tub in November 2015, according to The Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Bates pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. In the argument against the warrant for the recordings Amazon argues that the information Alexa receives and gives can reveal the intricacies of the user's personal life and should thus be protected.
