More like blindfolding yourself and tearing a random page out of a random book of a LIBRARY in evidence, in which only a couple of books are even marginally relevant to the case.
IMO the judge is (properly) allowing the jury to hear that the evidence was not "pristine." This is normal so that the jury doesn't equate the absence of evidence (of, e.g., child *advertiser censored*) with evidence of absence. The jury needs to know that it is POSSIBLE, although extremely unlikely, that there was something on the computer that wasn't found because of these inadvertent alterations.
can't unring that bell they jury has heard that the defense did the same and took no precautions

Juan asking Flores about "search terms" supposedly searched by TA on computer.

If I was a juror, the only way I could make sense of all this cloak and daggar computer testimony would be to infer that Travis had something really awful on his computer that the State wants to hide and that the defense is trying to bring to my attention.
There's no other way I'd understand why such a big deal is being made of the victim's computer.
Seriously? The jury wasn't in for all that? WTH was the point then???
DGC, I thought the jury came back in after JW asked for Juan to be removed and made a witness.
