I understand. But you can see in my post and in Baez's motion that he did find the owner and made phone calls to this person. He did not return calls or respond to the certified mail. It forced Baez to make a motion to access the property without the owner's consent.
Baez himself is not a forensic crime scene investigator. He needs experts to do that. I am not questioning the propriety or thoroughness of OCSO CSI in any way. But we cannot make meaningful armchair proclamations about what the defense experts would or would not find. They may not have found any item of value. They may have desired to look at the scene with a mapping and photos of the found evidence. But without those documents from OCSO, they can't know where anything was located.
Baez needed legal access to the property, he needed the schematics and evidence photos from OCSO, and he needed his own expert investigators. He needed all of that at the same time. He was contacted and granted access to the scene at 11:30am on Saturday Dec. 20. By the end of that day the scene was marked 'no trespassing' and that was it for Baez.
He was refused the docs and photos by OCSO for fear of leaking them. He was refused access to the property by the owner who wouldn't respond.
I'm not saying Baez is a good attorney. I'm just saying that circumstances prevented him from conducting a proper investigation soon after OCSO was done with the site.
The issue of them being leaked was discussed. The law covering such pictures, etc. All in readiness for when such things would be turned over to JB. But the court agreed that JB was asking for them way out of step.
But based upon when this was being discussed and what was going on at the time.. I just want to be clear about what your trying to say. Are you trying to say that as pictures was developed from the cameras, that a copy should have been automatically sent to JB?? That wouldn't have worked either. Remember the tips problem. JB still doesn't want to pay for his request. he wouldn't pay for that 'auto' either. When it tossed tons of useless stuff.
As this was being discussed in court, the evidence was being taken from the scene. It wasn't processed yet by the LE. What was being denied, was him and his team going to the crime scene while the LE was there.
When the stuff was processed, it was sent to him. He was denied nothing. So I don't see where you get he was denied anything. Really I don't. He even complained about it being a mountain of evidence to go through. Wow! I bet that is what the LE thought. Yet they got through it and sent it to him.
I seriously don't see how the LE could be giving them reports, as they were driving away from the scene. Very little of it had been analized, etc. Yet he wanted the area ASAP and the LE gave it to him. He was not denied access to it.
In this day and age of computers, we are starting to think things should be given to us/done in a flash. Microwave cooking is to slow. I want it now! LOL! That just isn't realistic.
What is realistic, he wanted them to do a rush job. When folks rush,they are more likely to make mistakes. Mistakes he would have used to his advantage. Cause he can ask all he wants and it doesn't mean anything. But they make a mistake.. and that counts for something. They should not rush, just because he demands the stuff now.
