T'would appear Jmflu found 'the real killer'. :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:
I am new here, started looking closely at this trial while waiting at the vet (VSH) which is a long block from the Cooper's former house. Am an old computer geek, sometimes expert witness/researcher. Still solidly on the fence, expect a really interesting week of testimony. Started out thinking BC probably would be proved guilty based on hearing local news reports, was curious about smoking gun evidence found by FBI computer expert.
Now realize that he wasn't FBI, just Durham police det. with dual badge (deputy US Marshal). Wish I could have seen CC testify, but from limited reporting it seems too clever by half, things others have noted wrt the centering of the ZIP and the inability to reproduce the search now. Using the "FBI" with its "protected methods" is becoming a convenient ploy nationwide to avoid having to follow all the normal procedures regarding defendant rights. "Can't tell you what we did because then the terrorists and pornographers would find out. Sorry about your rights."
There are two separate issues with the Google search that Friday. The search itself using 27518 and the zooming down to that particular area. Not clear from the reports if the search was directly from the Google Maps screen or triggered by some other site -- maybe from a quick check of a weather site which in turn displayed radar data using Google maps (e.g. wunderground.com), typical thing to do before leaving for lunch on a day with showers in the area. The zooming claims contradict themselves so will just have to see how that plays out.
BTW all the geeks I know could fake the phone call without using anything more complicated that a computer with a modem, or their All-in-1 printer with a fax option. Many of us could do it with absolutely no trail left behind.
So are you suggesting that the defense shouldn't have the right to present a defense? If the jury is pissed, they ought to be pissed at the prosecution for presenting way too many witnesses that added nothing more than Brad's a bad husband and had an affair. I think we got the picture after about the 15th witness testifying to that.
I think (despite the other opinions I have seen) that the only mistake Gessner has made with regards to most of this is with Kurtz. He started in on him day 3 and has made it pretty clear that he is biased against him. (Hence Trenkle's involvement)
The first time he was attempting to illicit information re: Pearson from Dismukes I thought Gessner was going to punch him. It was inappropriate by both parties and has set the tone for some odd calls later on.

I wonder if there will be court today.

HI, and glad you and family are ok after the storm.I think there is absolutely NO chance that he picked the body dump site using that google search. There simply wasn't enough time (41 seconds) to do it. And they didn't show him ever going back to it. I think that if the google search is valid (ie, it happened on the 11th at that time), and there is nothing as of now to show it wasn't, then he did it to try and remember the name of the street or location because he had been there before either jogging or biking. That's the only explanation that seems logical to me.
I agree that the Prosecutions case has been too long, but they were going point by point. Remember also that Kurtz takes a long time to question witnesses himself.
This jury has needed springs on it's rear end with all of the bouncing up and down for matters to be discussed outside the hearing of the jury. I do feel sorry for them in that regard.
I am convinced that Brad Cooper murdered Nancy. I am a little tired of some thinking that people who feel Brad is guilty are willing to convict without a fair trial. We are not on a jury here, and do not have to behave as if we are.
I am looking forward to seeing just what Kurtz presents in the defense case. I don't think it is about Brad Cooper anymore. It is about winning at all costs, IMO. This is how I have come to see it.

I am in total agreement the states case has been disjointed and far too long.
We knew they would save the best for last.....they did and it sounds like the jury is clearly off the fence and wants to go home. 2 weeks of Kurtz trying to weasel his client out of this will be painful for them, i'm sure.
You get that simply because they asked if this would be done by May? They asked because they committed to a 6-8 week process that was supposed to be done by May and some have committments in May that would be affected by the process. That doesn't mean they are clearly off the fence.
HI, and glad you and family are ok after the storm.
Do you think it's possible Brad checked out the Fielding site after a google search<before returning to work Friday after the lunch meeting>? The mica evidence on the shoes LE DID recover <to me> puts him at the body location site at some point.
It makes sense that Brad did the google search, THEN went to visually inspect where he planned to dump Nancy.
MOO and stuff.

But didn't the Lowes video show he was wearing sandals Friday morning?
I still wonder why they chose those Nike shoes to test for mica?

IIRC, the Nikes had dirt embedded in the heel part, like they had been cleaned off? Maybe he had them in his trunk. Hellifino, but since the mica samples matched, to me, there has to be a connection somewhere? I would really like to know what time he swiped his card to get back into Cisco after lunch Friday.But didn't the Lowes video show he was wearing sandals Friday morning?
