Sheena Cuthill, along with her husband and brother-in-law were all charged in the death of a Mr. Lane.

In the course of the investigation into the murder, the police obtained a production order which allowed them to gain access to text messages sent by Mrs. Cuthill to her husband and to her brother-in-law.

Mrs. Cuthill argued at trial that those text messages were inadmissible because they were spousal communications. Because the documents were obtained by a production order as opposed to a warrant, Mrs. Cuthill argued that her spousal privilege was violated by police. The court disagreed and she and her husband were both convicted of murder.
