State v Bradley Cooper 4-28-2011

[cygnusx1]

I was under the impression it was left on, not that they turned it on. Does anyone know?

Well, if that is the procedure then they need to somehow transfer the computer into evidence in some sort of Faraday cage to isolate it from any electro-magnetic signals (WiFi) until they can disable the WiFi radio.

If it was on while they were transporting it, he could have accessed it after it was seized while it was being transported to CPD. Maybe attempts to wipe it remotely spoiled the NTFS meta-data on the files. Thus the files weren't deleted, but they look tampered with.

Citrix allows you to access a computer remotely via any web browser with no VPN software on the client computer. He could have gone to the library and opened a browser and logged into another machine at work and then accessed his laptop from that machine over the VPN. But there should be logs on the Citrix server (if they have one) and the VPN router at Cisco to indicate that type of access took place.

I'm here for Nancy, the murder victim in this case. I believe Bradley killed her. Sneaky tactics employed by the defense that get shot down by the judge make me VERY happy. Justice for Nancy. Remember her??

No matter how you try and paint your outlook, justice for NC does not = convicting BC if he is innocent.

Well after today, I can honestly say I have so many mixed up feelings. If in fact this last witness's testimony was squeaky clean, I hate to not see him able to testify in front of the jury but am beginning to feel this jury may be hung in the end. If not and BC goes to prison to await an appeal, it just makes me feel totally torn with my feelings. For now, I just need to make it to the end of the trial, I've been here this long.

OK, so there was only 1 out of hundreds in the group I queried who felt BC was genuinely guilty based on evidence.

I ask, now that your "glue" has come undone by the proof we saw this afternoon, is there anyone at all left (again, not including those friends/family/2nd hand friends of BC or NC or not any hardcore, long-term WSers who generally believe the defendant to be guilty) who thinks BC is guilty?

I understand this evidence won't be considered by the jury, so I'm not asking whether you think they'll find him guilty - is there a single, unbiased person who can conclude that BC is guilty knowing the google map evidence (weak as it was to begin with) was planted?

There was evidence that the google map was planted? I didn't get to hear all of the afternoon testimony.

 

[cassius]

Why are you so happy that this witness isn't allowed to testify?

C'mon, you know the answer to that.

As to the necklace, I wouldn't think it would be too far fetched to say that jogging with a necklace with a pendant would be annoying. Wouldn't it seem reasonable to take off the necklace on your way out the door to go jogging and leave it somewhere in the foyer?

That makes sense to me.

Brad had access to his Cisco laptop even if he wasn't physically sitting in his office. As long as that laptop was powered on, and connected to the network, he could access it remotely. So if files were 'tampered' with, and it was a human doing it, it was Mr. Cupper himself. He had 27 hrs in which to get to his own computer. He certainly knew how to do this. He had the secure credentials, passwords needed, etc. He could have used just about any PC to get into his own network remotely.

I've done it myself with my own work laptop.

It's a shame no one bothered to ask SH if BC used his computer at any time or was alone in any room that had an Internet-connected computer in it at any time.

I'd put money on BC accessing his own laptop remotely. It wasn't the CPD and it wasn't the FBI and it wasn't some random neighborhood hacker and it wasn't some other disgruntled Cisco person.

He had unrestricted access to it for 72 hours prior to it being seized. Why on earth would he wait until after that time to go and change this...and why wouldn't he simply delete the files. Also, how do you create an invalid timestamp?

This man has testimony that is relevant to this case. If testimony came from someone that conclusively proved that he did not do this, would you still wish it shot down because it doesn't fit who you believe did it?

Yes I agree with you, justice for the victim. What about justice, period?

 

[Cheyenne130]

Your right of course, there is no way to know who did the tampering, it could have been Brad, or it could have been "Outlaw Mormon Bikers". But more importantly, this tampering occurred while the computer was in the defacto possession of the State. They allowed the tampering to occur because of poor police proceedure, and not securing the digital evidence properly.

The state allowed the chain of custody to be violated, by persons unknown, and the state should be punished for that failure.......And that punishment is either exclusion of all testimony regarding that computer; introduction of the defenses witness to speak to about the tampering; or the case being dismissed due to lack of evidence; or acquittal of the defendant by the jury.

Take your pick.....

I pick justice.
If he is guilty, he should spend the rest of his life in jail.
If he is not guilty, he should walk out of the courtroom a free man.

Yes, I believe he is guilty and NO, I do not believe the Google search was "planted". I think Brad checked it out because he was going to an area that he wasn't real familiar with, he knew he was going in the dark and wanted to get his righty and lefty turns solidified in his head.

 

[jrb0124]

There was evidence that the google map was planted? I didn't get to hear all of the afternoon testimony.

The expert was able to recover a deleted google cookie (that the FBI did not address), and determined a forged watermark. This means there was at least one file on the laptop that was a forged (unauthentic) google file.

He also stated that the identical timestamps on the cursor files made their authenticity impossible.

 

[Danielle59]

So Brad said to his co-workers...It doesnt seem to matter now does it because Nancy was at HT then or near then..so she could have bought milk then..

Im not so sure tho..but my opinion doesnt matter

Really, what are you talking about?

 

[dgfred]

Well did he actually say files were 'altered' or files were 'planted'? IMO he wasn't referring to the google Map search but I am unsure now :waitasec: .

 

[ncsu95]

What sneaky tactics are you talking about? The witness today testified that JWs expertise would involve analyzing these exact files. JW should have been allowed to testify about them.

Oh, and if the wrong person is convicted, that isn't Justice for Nancy.

 

[Danielle59]

Interesting...files accessed and deleted after computer was seized.

Even more interesting, they won't turn over the chain of evidence documents.

I agree, I don't know what to think at this point. That 'glue' for me isn't firming up as much as I thought it would. Things do not seem as they once were. It's entirely possible BC is responsible for all this man said this afternoon but we may never know that for certain.

And if we found out her husband did NOT do it, could NOT have done it and find clear cut evidence of that, we can then look for whom may have.

Double justice for Nancy!! (And for BC, and the midgets)

 

[GhostCrab]

Just an overarching thought and I hope it makes sense:

If Brad WERE guilty he not only had to have planned the perfect crime ...no prints, no hair, no physical evidence left behind whatsoever, but he also had to have the waves break JUST SO in order for all this so called circumstantial evidence to to have so little weight. He says she went running...well it turns out an impartial person had a conversation with her the night before about just that... she always wears her necklace....but look there is video showing her the day before without it...and on and on and on. If you could take out all of the biases against B because he was a not so nice husband of a woman who was murdered, then imagine the actual liklehood of him being the perpetrator.

 

[dgfred]

Yes, I believe he is guilty and NO, I do not believe the Google search was "planted". I think Brad checked it out because he was going to an area that he wasn't real familiar with, he knew he was going in the dark and wanted to get his righty and lefty turns solidified in his head.

He might should have paid more attention to those 'righty and lefty' shoes :innocent: . I still find that fact highly suspicious.

 

[NCEast]

Frustrating is probably a more appropriate word.

I'm frustrated that the CPD and the State of NC allowed this entire cased to be tried based on the gossip of friends and neighbors. That's pretty much what it has boiled down to. I don't understand the computer evidence and missed a good portion of this last witness's testimony, so what you all heard and understood is beyond my scope. But I am depending of those of you on here, whom I trust, to sort it out, and help me get an understanding of the technical issues. I have tried to keep an open mind throughout this trial and if there is evidence that proves Brad Cooper did not murder Nancy Cooper then I will accept it, graciously.
