It wasn't on the computer!
It's like asking a librarian to look up a book for you and then getting mad they didn't read it for you as well. It's not his job to investigate outside of the scope of forensically analyzing computers and like devices.
EXACTLY!
IMO: As a technical expert, it is only his (Dworkin's) job to provide
objective data.
It is
not his job to investigate the meaningful content of that data, nor to taint it with his own subjective speculations or opinions.:twocents:
(Which is a GOOD thing (IMO)...because otherwise, any old tom, dick or harriet could say just about anything he/she wanted to on the stand and it would be an exercise in futility to pinpoint accurate information to arrive at truth):twocents:
I do believe it is TRUE that JM is a masterful prosecuting attorney in his posturing and in being able to pose the particular kind of questions he chooses to ask, especially when also demanding an absolute answer from any given witness when the true answer in all actuality may be a relative one that resides someplace in the middle of a graded continuum; however I do NOT believe that this expert was inept, argumentative or stupid AT ALL. :twocents:
IMO, if I am a witness and I have testified that the temperature outside is 25 degrees, Juan's question to me might be: "Ms Fowler, is that hot or cold?"
In my mind, before being able to answer that question accurately and truthfully, I would really NEED to know if the scale was Fahrenheit or Celsius, first. That temperature in Celsius would be around comfortable indoor room temperature whereas in Fahrenheit it would be brrrrr....COLD.
Would Juan ALLOW me to ASK whether the scale was C or F? I think he would shout: "I ask the questions here, Ms. Fowler!!!! Hot or cold?!!!"
I'd be cryin' me a RIVER up there on that stand....

Used-Car-Salesman "types" have always tended to really, really, REALLY rub me the wrong way, but I gotta tell you, when ol' GS was up on that stand I felt so SORRY for him!:twocents:
Juan is highly skilled in seizing everything available to him to portray a given situation in exactly the light he wants an audience to view that particular situation. Masterful, he is. JMO:twocents:
