DEFENCE WITNESS: Bryan Neumeister

--He is with U.S.A Forensic, does state of the art video and audio for trials.
--certified forensic expert and has worked with the military and the courts before. He refers to his CV as he is going through his experience that makes him an expert.
--he is a contracted technical expert.
--he is working with the prosecution on another case, the Mesa police, and the defence.
--He says does not take a side he just analyzes data. His company has the equipment that a lot of police agencies do not have.
--His experience is working on analyzying 911 calls, surveillance video, recovering video that has been erased, etc.
--has also worked with a lot of Hollywood production companies which he lists. Most of the company's work is legal, as in working with evidence.
--he was retained Sept 15, 2010 and was asked to enhance a telephone recording. The person on the other end of the telephone could not be heard very well. He was asked to clean up the audio of the person that was not heard very well.
Exhibit #429, DVD, contains a number of screen grabs for this type of job. Has to follow a certain set of standards so that they can reproduce the work. They catalog the work so that another company can reproduce the work.
--Received 7 recordings from a telephone. Had to figure out what frequencies they were dealing with. These recordings were taken from a headphone jack to a .mp3 recorder. The DT is showing the software that shows graphs of the frequencies.
--It's not a very good recording so the witness' job was to make it more inteligible.
--the .mp3 file was changed to a .wav file. this made some of the noise go away. Witness narrowed the range frequency.
--background noise and hum was eliminated using software.
--a vocal enhancer was used to bring up the treble to make it easier to understand.
--the remaining background hiss or noise was then taken out.
--a program was used to bring Jodi's voice and Travis' voice to be of equal decible level.
--after the audio was enhanced the audio was put onto a DVD. The witness put a time marker that is visible when the audio is played so that the jury can identify parts of the audio if they have questions.
--There are two people talking in the audio. Wilmott asks if the people identify themselves and the witness says yes, that the male talking....Martinez objects as it is hearsay and the objection is sustained. Lawyers approach the bench.

 

[TigerBalm]

Don't tell the jury you redacted clips, mr. professional witness

 

[lonetraveler]

Did Nancy Grace loan Jodi one of her hair clips?

 

[Hopeful One]

One of my coworkers is blowing into a turkey call right now... REALLY???

 

[bobloblaw]

So, the audio is self-authentication.

I know its not likely, but for arguments sake, it could be someone impersonating Travis on the audio...

 

[Tulessa]

Oh HLN carrying it live!

 

[gitana1]

she is SOOOO trying to get this in there.....

where are the lawyers (gitana1, minor4th, and mormon attorney)

:gasp:

Oh, I guess it does not come in!!!

ETA:
I guess I lied! Looks like they used him to lay foundation and now they will use another witness to play the tape itself.

I cannot see how it is relevant unless it shows abuse. This is really disgusting. But I think the judge is giving the defense so much leeway.

Willmott is wearing leopard print high heeled Mary janes

 

[Sleuth13]

Watch her play the tape that wasn't edited and claim it's an accident!!

 

[Sweetiemom]

that was quick!

 

[Hopeful One]

Why did she rest without playing it?

 

[borndem]

Why wouldnt he know who he works for? And what does CV stand for?

Curriculum Vitae -- similar to a resume -- Latin for "the course of my life"

 

[lil_buddy]

wtf? I am so confused. what did we learn from this witness?

 

[TigerBalm]

Willmott is wearing leopard print high heeled Mary janes

:waitasec: Is she confused... this isn't Jersey Shore

 

[A_News_Junkie]

YAWN!

Oh wait, not bored anymore - I get the point, Juan is that good! Score again for the state!

 

[JSR]

His CV is like 40 pages. I would need to refer to the hard copy too!

They can get longer. I had an expert on one of my cases that was 87 pages long!!

February 4, 2013 Afternoon testimony

--Objection is overruled.

--The male in the audio refers to the female 3x by the name of Jodi. Travis refers to his name.
--The DVD with the time code was given to the defenct team.
Exhibit #428 Audio DVD
The witness brought in a DVD on Friday with seven audio clips and this exhibit has five clips on it. The other two clips do not have anything to do with this case.

CROSS EXAMINATION
--parties including the state agreed that the people on the audio were Travis and Jodi. The witness compared Travis' voice (known sample) to the one in the audio from the phone but did not do that with Jodi's voice.

Witness is excused.

 

[Hopeful One]

What on earth was the point of that???
