2013-01-14 Afternoon testimony.
Detective Melendez
Computer in the home--Computer was in sleep mode.
--The last time that somebody did anything with it was 2008-06-04, 3:34:49 p.m.
--a password was not needed to get into the computer as the forensic software uses a different route to get to the information.
--Det. Melendez also examined a telephone, it was a pocket PC and was located in the office. Was not able to look at all the messages. Was not able to extract the text messages as there was no technology at the time of examination. It has since become available.
CROSS EXAMINATION
Re: Camera--Camera was in the washer, as all in one piece, memory stick was in the camera. Melendez had to buy a power cord. Camera doesn't appear to be ruined. There is nothing broken on it other than the button to take the photos is missing as it fell off when Melendez was handling the camera. The camera button is rubber.
--If the camera were upside down the button would be hitting the ground.
--When Melendez got the camera it wasn't wet. He couldn't really tell as he used gloved hands. It wasn't noted in his report if the camera was wet or smelled like bleach. He doesn't think he could smell bleach.
--The memory stick did not appear to be crushed and did not look like somebody tried to break it.
Re: photos of Travis in the shower.--Photos from 5:22:24-5:30 p.m. There are many photos taken of Travis in the shower. Poses are in different positions. Travis is able to turn one way or the other and doesn't appear injured. Doesn't appear to be involved in any altercation. In some of the photos you can see the right side of his face and the left side of his face.
#148, Photo of the side of Travis, left side of his face. Shower head would be at the back of his head.
--Some of the photos from earlier in the day were time stamped. In one of those photos you can see Travis and in another you can see Jodi.
<my feed went out!!! had to refresh>
#159--Photo of Travis in the shower, looking at the camera, Melendez testified that it appears Travis is sitting.
#150--Photo of ceiling, Melendez testified that this photo was taken 2-3 feet off the ground. Photo is blurry and appears to be an unintentional picture.
#162--Appears to be blood coming from the right side of Travis. Again, this is the photo that we have debated ad nauseum of the possible dragging picture. Camera was on the floor upside down. Camera button would have been on the ground and difficult to reach.
#163--Camera is upside down. Photo is of the floor.
Re: Pocket PC phone--Melendez powered it on and looked at it & wasn't able to extract anything. Defence says that Melendez could have taken photos of each text message on the phone. There was over 15,000 text messages. Melendez said it would have taken him eight months to take photos of all the text messages.
Re: Laptop, found in the office off the garage entry way. --Melendez was able to do a forensic examination of this laptop. Based on information on the Compaq Presario, Melendez understood it to be Travis' computer.
--Upon powering on the computer it said "Power ID, virus alert". Melendez isn't sure what it means. He did not see any virus on the computer. It was checked for viruses.
