Yes I know all that,my question pertains to the metadata they were able to pull, if they were able to access enough of the file to give a "creation" date, whatever that actually means in this case(File Created: This is the date the file was created on the volume.), then why no deletion dates or anything else that could verify that it was the Sony and not JA's Canon or Olympus that created the original exif data?
In response to the jury questions Dworkin had said:
-----------
JURY QUESTIONS
1) are date and time stamps on photos taken by digital cameras,
can they be manually manipulated?
Answer: the photo of the file would have to exist first and then go and change the time/date.
It applies to "exif" information as well.
Dworkin did not attempt to turn on the camera as it had been stored for a long time and there was no reason to do it at the time. Dworkin did not see any evidence of time stamp manipulation.
Martinez asks about #413, is it possible that the photo of Jodi and her sister, could it have been taken in 2007 and then uploaded or downloaded in 2008? Witness answer : "
anything is possible"."

What I would like to know is why some people seem to want to believe the worst of TA? Heck, I still don't believe they had intercourse more than once or maybe twice, don't forget JA herself sees any form of sexual contact as "doing the deed" instead of what most nowadays would consider heavy petting.
Is it that impossible, knowing what we do about JA and her propensity for spinning tales, that the sexual pics may have been part of her "plan", like the shower pics apparently were? I don't hear anyone here disputing that those were legit(though some like me are still questioning whether the date/time stamp was accurate even on those, there is no evidence to prove it was), or that the bedroom pics may indeed have been from a previous time on an "recycled" card, had been deleted by TA once he got his new camera so he could use it for his new life without her, and then recovered in the unallocated spaces(much to JA's surprise, observed in her first interrogation that they were even there, but gave her another story line she could spin since she had also learned they had enough other evidence to put her there... enter the sex and ninja story?)
Why else would the defense not be disputing them if they didn't think they helped her case when trying to show how TA used and abused her, even up to that last day?
For those interested in how easy metadata is to manipulate...
