Retrial for Sentencing of Jodi Arias - 12/05-08 In recess

[Predator]

No clue, they've never said.

If I were to hazard a guess I'd say it was FastBloc , cause they are cheap and easy to use...

Here's some background on it http://www.wikinvest.com/stock/Guidance_Software_(GUID)/Fastbloc_Write-blocking_Hardware_Software

FastBloc® hardware and software is used to connect EnCase® Forensic to a hard drive to which investigators have physical access. FastBloc® hardware acts as a middleman between the operating system and the hard drive and physically blocks any hard drive write requests. This is a system primarily used by law enforcement and is designed to provide the investigator an extra level of protection against the possibility of original evidence being damaged on the hard drive.

FastBloc® SE is the first commercially available software write-blocking solution that allows EnCase® Forensic to take full control of IDE, SATA and SCSI channels on particular PCI controller cards, as well as the FireWire and USB ports from Windows, thereby permitting an extra level of protection against damaging original evidence without the use of hardware write-blocking devices. In addition, FastBloc® SE allows forensic investigators or consultants to override and access host-protected areas and device configuration overlays.

What do you think?

They probably used this since they are saying it's typically used with Encase, which is what these guys are using. But I really don't know much about it lol.

I searched for spyware/malware/anti virus programs articles published in 2007/2008 and it seems like some programs like CCLeaner could automatically wake up your computer in sleep mode and scan it.

Spybot apparetly does the same thing: http://www.thespinningdonut.com/how...-pc-from-spyware-using-spybot-search-destroy/ (Well did back in 2008)

Very good find, I missed your post earlier. I wonder though, would he set an automatic scan for 1:44 in the afternoon? Seems like it would be an inconvenient time of the work day to have to wait for a scan to run, although with all of the viruses he was dealing it, I suppose it's possible.

Yes, the misconduct charge is central, but again, I'm not worried about it because I don't believe Flores or JM did anything wrong, and nothing BN said indicated otherwise.

For me, then, what is key now is whether or not JSS will allow in spurious charges of TA looking at child *advertiser censored* on the computer. Yes, CMJA was allowed to testify about that fictitious swirling piece of paper. Yes, JM demolished her story.

But....loose allegations of child *advertiser censored* on the computer told to the jury plus her paper story plus Brazilian waxes and pigtails and what not...at some point its reasonable to worry that at least one juror will believe the pedo story enough to vote against the DP.

If, in and a big IF *advertiser censored* is proven to found on TAs laptop, that would not change my mind on how I feel that about the cruel and heinous manner he was murdered.

This will not stick, this is just delay upon delay and JSS is running this trial like its a a big joke.

This load of crap should of been brought up in the first trial or during appeal.

 

[ElleElle]

What do you know what HWB (hardware write blocker) they used? Tableau, WiebeTech, FastBloc?

Are there any differences between them?

 

[Curious Me]

I had no idea this happens for various reasons. Posting it here because it's interesting, not that it relates to this particular case.

Troubling trend: When judges need disciplining
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...BlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatoday-newstopstories

"Arizona has a "judicial review commission," made up of mostly nonlawyers, that queries jurors, litigants, attorneys, court staff and witnesses about their experiences in front of judges. They then rate the judge as qualified or not and make the information public on the secretary of state website and in paid advertising. There are no studies showing the impact, but the experts say it likely keeps judges behaving."

 

[Myvice]

I don't know how anyone could put much weight on *advertiser censored* on the computer when JA is giving him the same thing in personal photos. Who would be surprised?

 

[Predator]

There are some differences, but nothing major (however, what you might miss by using one you might not miss by using the other, especially if you use custom builds. I mean some algorithms are better than the others), but these are all amateur hour toys...

 

[Steve44]

Which is what I don't understand. This is pretty much a two part hearing I suppose. First the allegations that there WAS *advertiser censored* on the computer that may have helped JA in her first trial (I don't see how) and that the prosecution knew about it and maliciously deleted it so therefore they should be able to declare a mistrial and the DP should be off the table.

Okay so they've pretty much proven that there was no prosecutorial misconduct, which I thought was the purpose of the hearing, and they've not really proven actual *advertiser censored* sites visited manually yet but why are they even being allowed to prove this? Wouldn't that have to be a separate motion to get that evidence allowed into this sentencing phase? And wouldn't they have to prove why this is so important? Not to mention have to prove that it was in fact TA who accessed those sites on a computer that multiple people had access to?

MOO

For some reason, JSS is being extremely lenient with the defense. They came ill prepared for the hearing and produced nothing substantial to prove or even back up the allegations in their motion.

I suppose it could be said that in order to prove the prosecution deleted *advertiser censored* you have first to prove *advertiser censored* was there to be deleted, but they didn't even do that. They only talked about links to *advertiser censored* sites, and the viruses that love them, and then they tried to spin the presence of antivirus software as proof that Travis was trying to hide the *advertiser censored* which they failed to show was there in the first place, instead of its obvious use to get rid of the viruses.

If it continues like this it will be become clear in spite of itself, in that it will be obvious that the defense has nothing of substance. They will lose, but they will win, because it will have cost the trial, the jury, and the Arizona taxpayers a month of wasted time.

So, the status conference tomorrow, evidentiary hearing Wed & trial Thurs...so far. Don't forget tomorrow regarding media in the afternoon at 1:30pm. Twitter is just not the same. Hard work for reporters to remember every word said & tweet blow by blow, but it's appreciated.

I expect to get up tomorrow to check Maricopa Court Dockets & JSS's calendar to find what is the new brain child from the weekend that appears...

So many rulings and meetings, I'm confused. What exactly are they ruling on tomorrow afternoon?

 

[WhoaIsMe]

She really does not like KN . It was interesting to read just how much. She is still fuming about his closing almost makes me want to take a more sympathetic view of him but then I remember how he has gone along with trash-the-victim as their primary method of defense....

I honestly don't know. AZL said it was just continuing the penaltiy phase earlier, I believe.

Do we know if the system clocks for the laptop and the camera were both set to the correct time? Most computers use a network time server, so I imagine it was correct, but it's possible that it wasn't. The camera's clock has never been in question I think. I don't recall if there was testimony about it.

[Predator]

You can change the date and time back and forth, however if the time stamp was created with the "wrong" date and time setting changing the date and time to the right date and time won't change the time stamp. Just set the date years back on your phone/camera then take a pic and then change the date back and see what happens.

Back then most computers didn't use a network time server by default.

You don't have to be a pedophile to recognize the resort to the voice of a twelve year old. It is also cloying and saccharine. There was no inducement from Travis, from Steve Flores or from Inside Edition & 48 Hours but there was that voice. Not regression, instead a put-on, with a sing song emphasis full of fake surprise. The reaction it stirs in me is impatience and the desire to shake it off. Did someone just throw a gooey dessert? Oh, it's Arias.

Yea, TA was the first guy she'd ever used braids on, or pursued until she tired of him...not! TA was however apparently the first guy to tell her it was over and in very descriptive words.

Curious about why this trial is taking so long?

Here's what Maricopa County Superior Court wants you to know about the "effectiveness of the capital case management strategy employed by this Court" as measured by their ability to rapidly resolve backlogged capital cases.

Source: https://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/SuperiorCourt/CriminalDepartment/innovation.asp#i

Capital Case Management

All cases where the State has filed a Notice to Seek the Death Penalty are managed through a unit under the direction of the Criminal Presiding Judge (CRPJ). A total of nine Criminal Department judges handle all pre-trial matters for this caseload. These judges also preside over the trials when available. If the judge who handles the pre-trial matters is not available at time of trial, the CRPJ assigns another judge to preside over the trial. The Capital Case Management judges, the CRPJ, the Associate Criminal Presiding Judge (ACRPJ), and Criminal Department Administration staff meet multiple times each month to ensure timely management of all capital cases, in accordance with the Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure. This focus on active caseflow management has made a significant impact on the Court's ability to reduce the backlog of capital cases that has built up during the past five years. At the close of FY08, there were 119 active capital cases, with the inventory peaking during that time of more than 140 pending cases. During that fiscal year, 35 capital cases were resolved. In CY2008, 41 new capital cases were initiated, and 29 existing capital cases were resolved. As of January 1, 2009, there were 139 capital cases still pending. But by the end of December, 2009, that number had decreased to 101, due in large part to the resolution of 60 cases during CY2009. As of June 30, 2013, there are 67 active capital cases, a testimony to the effectiveness of the capital case management strategy employed by this Court.
​

Note the interesting 'switcharoo' between fiscal[SUP]1[/SUP] and calendar years in 2008. Was this done to make the 'before' backlogged case picture look larger and the 'after' picture look smaller?

I report, you decide.

Case backlogs may come and go, but AZ v. Arias will always be the case to set your Maricopa County calendar by.

[SUP]1[/SUP]Fiscal year runs from July through June

 

[Dr. Know?]

Well, if AZ (where I live btw for 40 years or so) never changes their time, why would JM say something like, "but you know it's actually 2:44pm not 1:44pm, right? and BN agrees?" CA changes to DLST. AZ doesn't. jmo
