Great observation. In theory, everyone on the jury should is the ITHIBATTITHG camp, right?? The defense (during voir dire before trial) was presumably comfortable everyone in the jury was in the 'presumed innocent' camp, and obviously, after trial, we know where the jury (each of them)...

It's a good question. Though, I wonder does the fact that it's 'computer evidence' make the handling (and/or burden) of it any different than other types of evidence requiring expert witnesses? [ For example if State ME would have claimed TOD to definitively be 1am, then defense was able to...

Greg Taylor comes to mind... ... in fact, there's several recent cases in N.C where the original rulings have been overturned (or at least brought into serious question) based on questionable evidence processing...

Yeah, it's a great movie. Earlier on this thread (right after first mugshot was released), I posted a photo of Tim Robbins (Andy Dufresne), and suggested maybe he could be asked to play BC in the movie version of this case. :)

Thanks for the link. During the BC case, when they were presenting some of the evidence collected from the residence and some not collected (ie, shop-vac, pulling up the hardwoods in the foyer for more detailed forensic collection, etc), I wondered about the JM case. I recalled too that that...

I think it was just in response to an earlier post of other State of NC cases where folks have been convicted, yet where there remained an ongoing public dialog as to whether or not they were wrongly convicted. (Similar to how it seems this case will unfold...) It's a good question, and...

Okay, but I thought Giralt explained how the call could (theoretically) be spoofed even if the router wasn't connected to Cisco IT at that particular time. [ Router (set up as standalone device), with FXO card, could originate a call on the landline, either via remotely controlled script, or...

Until we hear from the jury (if we do), we won't know for sure how 'big' the google search was, but my guess is that it was a 'swing factor'. Anyone else think they would have convicted if that were off the table? For discussion purposes, if state had entered evidence of the router being in...

This case remind anyone else of Shawkshank? After seeing the recent mugshot, I wonder if Tim Robbins (aka Andy Dufrense) might play BC in the television drama?

Wow - the BC case sure had a tangled web, but just imagine if the "Brad in Raleigh" from MP case was somehow connected to BC of the BC case. That would have really been over the top!...

Neither do I. My thought was only that if we're open to (and allowing critical) discussions of the prosecution (judge, police, police-chief, etc), then I would assume we should be just as open to discussing (and at times speaking critically) of the defense, judge, and custody counsel. [ e.g...

It's a good point of discussion. I didn't think we were allowed to talk negatively about any attorneys (at least whenever any discussion questioning AS actions comes up, it seems to get shut down (or at least discouraged) pretty quickly). I assume it might be the same result for (any negative...

Michael Peterson is there also.... Maybe they can have good discussion re ducks and owls... and other fowl subjects.

Checking the wording of both polls, it's just asking more/less binary question #1. [ WS is currently @ 32% of 104 NG, Twitter is holding steady @ 82% of 386 NG ]. #2 is a different question, (but I suspect, if asked, would trend the same way, and if anything higher % of NG. Several comment...

Twitter poll has 386 respondents so far, with 82% NG. [ Whereas the WS poll (though with about 1/4th of the responses ) is tracking 30% NG ] Obviously different sample groups responding to the poll, each with their own interpretation of the presented (and non-presented) evidence... The real...
