No further questions from defense. State redirect.Clarifying about condition assessment. There is no specificity to the level of damage on the assessment. After sale, a reconditioning will be done on the car at the North Carmax location. Interestingly, the endorsement on the back of the check shows "pay to the order of Christine Armstrong." That is then crossed out and replaced with "Kaitlin Armstrong."

Endorsement on back of check was to Christine Armstrong, then crossed out and replaced with Kaitlin Armstrong

Witness 28: Brian Bell. He works for Strava.


5:34 PM · Nov 8, 2023


Bell is the VP of global communications and social impact for Strava.

Bell is from Houston, currently lives in Dallas. Strava is based in San Francisco.

Bell says he’s familiar with how the data is collected and shared within the company.
 
Bell says he knows the name Moriah Wilson, but did not know her personally. Bell says Strava provided data to Austin Police Department. Bell confirms it included date on athletes using the app and those viewing it.

Let me clarify this tweet. The prosecution asked if data was given to APD and if this is what the data contained, and Bell responded “yes”
 
@JessicaTaylorTX

Defense asks if Bell can explain how the data reaches Strava, which Bell says is not in his purview. State says they are not entering Bell as an expert today. Defense asks to continue their questions, saying they’re unclear of what’s being asked.


5:46 PM · Nov 8, 2023

Bell says his role today is to speak to information in the documents. Defense asks if he can explain how it was collected. Bell answers no. Defense objects based on grounds that he did not gather the data. State says he’s here as a rep of Strava and familiar with the data.

Defense is pushing back against this witness. Mr. Bell is primarily in marketing and communications. He calls himself a "storyteller." But the defense questions whether or not he is an expert who can accurately testify to the data, how it was created, collected, analyzed, etc. Defense objects to the witness testimony.State clarifies that Bell is not being offered as an expert. But he is familiar with Strava data and knowledge of how the data is made and used as a regular course of business.Defense calls for a sidebar with the judge.

The jury is now being excused. Mr. Bell sits politely on the witness stand and wonders what's happening. He is thoughtful with each response he gives, taking a beat to answer each question the defense asks him about his credibility. Defense even asked him if he brought his C.V. with him. No, Bell responds.Now a discussion with the Judge without the jury present.


5:49 PM · Nov 8, 2023


Defense believes he can't testify that they are true and accurate depictions of what the exhibits proport to be if he did not actually create the exhibits. The state is now presenting the Strava maps to the Judge for her to see on her own.

Omg. Would they not have selected the right man for the job? But his title does sound like he's way above the tech geeks who live and breathe the data and tracking analysis daily. Hmm.
 
OK, so now it appears that KA changed the payee and not just the endorsement on the back of the check. IMO, KA had to initiate the payee to be somebody other than herself or the title holder. Did sister refuse to deposit Carmax proceeds for KA so she just changed the payee herself? She's a slick one that KA...

State displays check from Carmax regarding the payment for the Jeep. Check says "Pay to the order of Christine Armstrong."

The first map we see is a GPX file, a GPS data file that Strava provided, which shows the path a cyclist took displayed on a Google satellite image.Defense making a point that you cannot show satellite maps from Google with data from Strava and expect Mr. Bell to testify about its validity.


5:52 PM · Nov 8, 2023


The state admits that one of its analysts has plugged the Strava data into a Google Map satellite image. The judge will allow the two images to be published as demonstrative evidence with the understanding that Bell cannot authenticate it.


5:54 PM · Nov 8, 2023

Jury now back in the courtroom. The exhibits are being published for the jury to see.The first is an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which shows the names Moriah Wilson, Kaitlin Armstrong and Colin Strickland. Their email addresses, unique ID numbers, subscriber status and creation date for each athlete. Colin has been a Strava user since 2012, Wilson since 2014, Armstrong since 2018.
