Court is back in session at 1:47 p.m. The state says the next defense witness is a phone expert and they request that two previous witnesses who examined Libby’s phone be able to sit in the court room for rebuttal purposes.
The jury is back in the court room at 1:52 p.m. The defense calls Stacy Eldridge. Eldridge is an expert in computer information management. She worked for the FBI for nearly 10 years as a forensic examiner and later a senior examiner. She also worked as an instructor on digital evidence.
Eldridge says she left the FBI and is now a license private detective in Nebraska. She tells the jury she used to have a license in
Cellebrite, the software used to forensically examine cell phones. She says she is a consultant now and an adjunct at two universities.
Eldridge tells the jury she has testified 3 times for the government and owns a business called Silicon
Prairie Cyber Services.
Eldrige tells the jury the defense is paying her $300 per hour to testify. She says she has worked 65 hours in examination for this case and 15 hours prepping for testimony.
Eldridge says she reviewed the October 2017 cell phone extraction, as well as the Cellebrite report and the report from Chris Cecil. She says she also reviewed Cecil’s deposition.
She tells the jury that ISP used Cellebrite,
Axiom and other forensic tools to examine Libby’s phone. Eldridge says she primarily used Axiom and used two others. She explains to the jury that every tool can do the work a little differently or display it differently.
She tells the jury that an extraction is getting all data off of a phone so you can examine it later. Eldridge says everything she examined came from ISP. She says there are “three level 6 extractions you can do, each one of them pulls different amounts of info.” Eldridge explains that “logical” extraction covers the basic user information, and “that’s what Libby’s phone had in early 2017.”
Eldridge says ISP had the capacity in early 2017 to do a full extraction of Libby’s phone, but only did it in October of that year.
