Yowza! Good post. Forgot about the washing machine in my anic:. That's the end of any subjective evaluation of image analysis, in my opinion-- can't tell where they may have come from with certainty -- the original image or later recovered image (affected by damage and recovery process.)
:cow:
How can a person talk about the images recovered on a piece of destroyed evidence (evidence destroyed by admitted murderer Arias) by police in their murder investigation of Travis Alexander as though the source of the images is from a working imaging device?
This person is talking about getting images off from surveillance cameras and enhancing those images so that people / license plates can be seen. However, the surveillance cameras (the original source of the images) was not destroyed.
Arias destroyed the camera and the images on the camera before fleeing the crime scene - these images were recovered from destroyed evidence.
This person has not stated that he - or anyone - can look at images that have been recovered by destroyed evidence.
We are lucky that the police were able to recover the images from the destroyed camera - they clearly show Arias standing over Travis Alexander's bloody body - they clearly show at least two times where Travis Alexander is not a threat to Arias.
If this guy wants to state that he can see reflections in Travis Alexander's eyes - that could be explained as matrixing.
I am confused as to what the defense is trying to accomplish with this witness.
This picture of Travis Alexander was not taken with any the professional integrity that this person is describing. This picture of Travis Alexander was taken by Arias before Arias murdered Travis Alexander - then Arias put the camera along with the card into Travis Alexander's washing machine (probably poured bleach on the camera) with the intention to get rid of evidence.
This is not a photo that ever had any integrity - Arias gave it her best try to destroy this picture, the camera, and all of the pictures on the camera. Travis Alexander's murder investigation caused police investigators to work very hard to retrieve images on the camera admitted murderer Arias tried to destroy.
I could see a person explaining "bits" and various elements of images that were never retrieved by the police during a murder investigation from evidence that was destroyed by the defendant.
The steps that the police had to take to retrieve images from evidence destroyed by the defendant - would seem to make everything that this potential defense witness say extremely irrelevant. If Arias wanted to use these images in her defense - Arias should not have destroyed these evidence. If Arias murdered Travis Alexander in self defense - Arias would not have worked to destroy evidence.
IMO - Arias steps to destroy the camera and the images on the camera partly show that Arias is guilty of premeditated murder. Also, Arias' actions in destroying the camera and the images on the camera make it impossible for anyone to speak about these images as if they are images that were found on a camera that was intact (never destroyed).
