Who the laptop is owned by is irrelevant.
Why would that be irrelevant? If we're going to assume that the laptop/hard drive was planted, why wouldn't the people who OWN the laptop be the first people we look at, with such a lack of evidence for anyone else? Oh, it's okay for you to speculate with no actual evidence to back your theory's, but I bring up legitimate evidence and it's "irrelevant"? Gotcha.
So if it was foul play, whoever the perpetrator was would be most likely to have taken the laptop.
And the perpetrator could have very well been a part of LEO, though again, we have no evidence that there was any foul play or the like, so that's just simple speculation.
Who issued the laptop does not mean a damn thing.
Says who? You? Just because it doesn't fit your theory to an exact tee, doesn't mean it's irrelevant. I was simply answering your question of;
And to my knowledge, SuperSmith never suggested LE planted them. Why would you automatically assume that's what he was insinuating?
Which was in response to a QUESTION I had for SS, I never "automatically assumed" anything. It was based on knowledge that LEO would be the only people to have undisputed access to his laptop, since they own it. FACT: The State could take possession of their laptop at any time. OPINION: Ray
could have come into contact with a person, who
could have later disposed of the laptop. The only people that could logically have access to Ray's laptop, hard drive, and home computer (in order to plant false searches) would be LE -- THAT is why I brought up LEO, because there is no other people (besides Ray's family) who could have access to all three of those things, with the evidence we have.
Are you also implying law enforcement planted the laptop, hard drive and the Google searches? Why? Who, exactly? When (specifically, when would they have planted those Google searches)?
...
That does not mean it had to be law enforcement.
I never implied that; i.e why I asked "who, exactly?".
Let's keep perspective here; I'm not the one putting out theory's with "80% certainty", based on ZERO physical evidence. I was genuinely interested in Smith's/your theories, but without any actual, non-anecdotal evidence to back it up and the condescending attitude you've exhibited, I'd rather avoid it.
Edit: Wow, just saw this...
I have to say... HowardStern... the fact that you reached such an illogical conclusion makes me wonder. Was that a freudian slip? Why would you assume SuperSmith meant LE planted it?
Very curious. No one that follows this thread would have concluded that's what he meant based on what he posted. Not even JJ.
The pretentious tone you're carrying has got to go. I've noticed this behavior is kind of a habit for you. Maybe you should give me some time to respond before littering this thread with more condescending dribble.
