I can't look at the video right now to see which testimony this is, but I have watched Melendez, Dworkin, etc. I will watch it all again because I heard Melendez say--whether it was in the prosecution's case, the rebuttal, OR during the retrial--that he put the timestamps that we see on the photos. He wrote the red times on the pics.
A memory card is only storage. Logs are not written to it. Nothing would make the camera log a new picture on the memory card to indicate that it had been downloaded on this date. The memory card is nothing more than a usb stick. It can't perform any more functions than a usb stick can.
And Jodi did not need the sony camera to access the memory stick according to the sony manual. And with all the time she had at his house back in March, she didn't need to wait all the way until June to access the memory stick--even if she did need the camera or software. It's also possible, that the sony software could have been downloadable from Sony's site, even further removing the need for her to use the camera for any of this.
I am not savvy at explaining technology and I don't know everything
, but I do know that a camera doesn't keep logs of activity on it the same way a computer does.
I do know you can't manipulate the metadata--unless there's software to do it with. Melendez says he got his information off the metadata. I'll have to find the exact place in testimony where he explained it since there seems to be some dispute about what he explained.
Dworkin's testimony wasn't about the sony memory card, if I recall correctly. I wish I could work on it and post, but I gotta some "real job" work to do tonight, unfortunately.
