Ok. I think I get the gist of it. The deletion of files happened on June 19. Both the DT and State were there for the 12-13 minutes when files were deleted. The deletion happened because the original HD was not protected by a write block. The DT blames the State for not using a write block. The State blames the DT for asking for access to the original HD, and for viewing files. None of them seem to have a clue that the write block should have been used.
Because of what happened on the 19th, Nurmi believes files were intentionally deleted. His accusation has no basis. Misconduct by the State on that date cannot be proven. Nurmi's motion to dismiss based on misconduct will fail.
The second issue is whether or not there was *advertiser censored* on It's computer. The real clash between the DT and State is over this question.
Although files were allegedly deleted on the original HD, the Mesa PD had made a clone earlier on. BN is saying he AND Dworkin found the exact same *advertiser censored* and in the same huge amount on Mesa's copy as they did on his own copy.
Common sense says that if the alleged *advertiser censored* can be found on the Mesa PD clone, there would be absolutely no reason for the State to try to delete it on the original HD.
