TACOMA, Wash. -- A legal loophole is allowing a Washington state man accused of child sex crimes to view child pornography in jail.
Weldon Marc Gilbert is acting as his own lawyer in the case, and that means he's entitled to review the evidence.
The evidence in the case includes more than 100 videos seized from Gilbert's Lake Tapps home after his 2007 arrest. Authorities say some of the footage was shot by Gilbert.
