Good synopsis and conclusion Boytwnmom, I don't see how anything found in the registry of his laptop could be of evidentiary value, the computer wasn't password protected and he had roommates (and JA) in his house when he wasn't home, and it was a pre-owned computer, there's no way to tie any activity or registry entry on that computer to him. They do know it had viruses/malware and many of them load
and fake 'cleaners' onto a computer and redirect to other sites, the whole thing is a red herring to raise issues that in my mind don't exist. Nurmi would love to be able to bedazzle the jury with balderdash over this, I'm hopeful the judge can see through it and simply deny this motion, there is no prosecution misconduct here and that's all she really needs to see, imo.
I wouldn't mind seeing the courts getting a little more geekified though, when someone testifies that they have blood at the scene but not enough dna to tie it to anyone, the court understand what that means, same with a hard drive, you have registry entries but it doesn't necessarily point to any individual in particular, these sorts of computer issues shouldn't be as much of a mystery as they still seem to be. Anyhow, good job, I always enjoy reading your posts.
