Holy Cow! Media rushes into home of SB killers...

The FBI said the scene had been processed and released. However, California law does not appear to give the landlord the right to allow entrance to the home of deceased renters, so the landlord likely broke the law by removing the plywood with a crowbar and giving the media access.

Holy cow! Law enforcement doesn't have the ability to secure a crime scene? Especially one as high-profile as this? Not even putting up crime scene tape?
Bungle in the jungle.
Oh, after watching the video, the police were done with the home. Without dusting for fingerprints, leaving documents laying around, etc. they turned the home back over to the landlord.
Video says the police are no longer interested in the place and had handed it back over to the landlord.
Therefore, I guess the reporters weren't destroying evidence, or impeding an investigation.
I still wonder about the wisdom of the police to hand the place over and be finished with the scene, but I guess they know best. Ha.

I was watching and thought the same thing! But then later on I saw a policeman or maybe a security guard of some type -- at least he had a badge and uniform -- and he didn't look like he was hurrying or trying to get people out or anything, so I guess they were done with the apartment...? It does seem fast though, you'd think they'd be investigating in the apartment for several days at least. But I know nothing about police investigations, so what do I know. 

I'm surprised that the police already released the scene. There's no way he legally had the right to enter the apartment - particularly as I heard the mother lived with them. Laws in California are strict and at times irrational in protecting tenants.

ETA - I don't mean to imply that in this case the law is irrational. The mother has an absolute right to not have her home invaded and her private identification broadcast around the world. I meant to indicate that the law will protect the tenant even if it makes no sense (the nanny who paid no rent, refused to work and the owners couldn't evict her for months for example) therefore there's no way this is legal.

Sounds like he's going to need a lawyer.

This.   It wasn't just the landlord who had an error in judgment with this one.   Everyone else who walked in there should have stopped and questioned themselves if they should be there.  And the answer should have been "no".
