Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Dr. James Ascough is joining us via Skype from Fort Colllins, Colorado. He works for the USDA. Research engineer.


Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Ascough will likely testify about Daniel's accomplishments and work he did as a Colorado State student.


Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
A program between USDA and CSU was set up. Students worked on objectives the USDA set forth. Brandon Daniel was hired for that program.


Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Ascough says students were asked to bring forth examples of Java programming. Daniel brought a bookkeeping/accounting program he help create

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Ascough says Daniel's work was much better than the other students in the program.


Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
"I thought he was a sharp kid. He did well. Very easy to work with and we were pleased we hired him. Thought I made the right decision."

:lol: If they said from craigslist, I think I would have lost it.

 

[TigerBalm]

My question for this witness, did you give BD a drug test before hiring him?

 

[Softail]

I'm sorry, but I really don't care if he was a good programmer. BFD! :snooty:



Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
"He was an extremely good programmer. Well above average." - Ascough about Daniel.

 

[TigerBalm]

Such riveting testimony....

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

Code makes me sleepy...............

So BD was a wiz in code. I get it, I get it.

 

[Softail]

:lol: Here we go with peeps trying to call his Skype.

 

[TigerBalm]

:lol: Unknown caller on skype

 

[TigerBalm]

All this work the defendant did.... did they ever think they worked him too hard, therefore he felt he had to go into his "early retirement". :facepalm:

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Ascough received a promotion thanks in part to the tool Daniel helped develop.

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Ascough and Daniel co-authored a chapter in an agriculture industry book.

 

[TigerBalm]

He didn't want to work for microsoft b/c he knew their slogan wasn't "we hire nuts who run around killing innocent people just because".

 

[TigerBalm]

Did you get high with him??? that is what we all wanna know

 

[BiancaS]

So was he depressed???

 

[Softail]

So, in a nutshell, this witness didn't know BD very well. :twocents:

Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Ascough says Daniel very "matter of fact"-like stated Daniel told him about the incident where a trooper pulled him over on his motorcycle.

Once when going to lunch, Ascough rode in Daniel's car and noticed what appeared to be marijuana paraphernalia.
