Defense attorney Andrew Moorman just completed his cross-examination of GCSO cellular forensic technician Charlie Cunningham.
During direct examination, the State asked Cunningham about a number of cellular devices he extracted data from while investigating the murder of Christina Parcell -- including the phones of Parcell, Hughes and Mello.
While on cross, Moorman asked Cunningham about the device he extracted data from that was not discussed during his direct examination... that of Bradly Post.
The prosecution team visibly tensed as the questioning continued.
Moorman then asked if the data extracted had been forwarded to an investigator.
The State objected. The judge overruled but warned Moorman to proceed cautiously.
Moorman thought before he asked each question, knowing he was walking a very thin line, but he impressively managed to not cross it.
By the end of cross, the jury learned:
1) investigators had extracted data from Post's phone
2) the State had not introduced Post's extraction at trial
3) whatever information the download had contained was sent to a GCSO investigator
