State v Bradley Cooper 04-19-2011

[Maja]

He didn't take on the job for the defense until Oct. 2010. He was no longer working for Cisco. A good friend of his who still worked at Cisco gave him a copy.

Did he name the friend who gave him a boot-leg copy?

Wow. Where did get this info. So nothing more until Friday?

It came from a Canadian Twitter report just a few minutes ago. Newspaper based.

I did not hear that the Cisco employee supervised Ward. Did you hear that, NCEast? Some here are alledging this was the case.

That is what he said. The Cisco employee that let him use the software supervised him and told him what to do to generate the report.

Ward did say the Cisco guy did supervise his use of whatever program, guiding him thru how to use it etc.....Interesting to have yet another outsider see exactly what was on Brad's computer...Yikes..Doubt Brad is too pleased about having his privacy seen by a fellow Cisco Employee..

I interpeted the testimony differently as well.

But, wasn't the Innocence Project people available and seen sitting behind the defense in the beginning of this trail. They have a mountain of resources available to them and most of them are done pro bono.

I am honestly, literally stunned. There is no back up whatsoever. They ruled on the information several weeks ago, there should have been a scurry of activity to get the right people to testify. All they had to do, was provide doubt for the jury, not that it did or did not happen.

Perhaps it was like Joe McGinnis and Jeffrey MacDonald?

What do you find so interesting about this jury?
I have seen them several times myself and they appear to be everyday citizens of Wake County.

Do you practice criminal defense?

The jury is made up of primarily African American women. Most likely these were a top demographic who could attest to not having formed a prior opinion about BC. From a socioeconomic stand point my best guess is that you are going to have at least one of these jurors not be able to relate to NC at all and may have even formed a negative opinion of her due to her lifestyle and behavior. I'm just playing the devil's advocate but I imagine the fact that she was a stay at home mom driving a BMW with a diamond necklace and diamond earrings will be considered during deliberations. Will it be brought to bear on the outcome, who knows, but it sure would be interesting to listen to their discussions.

Yes. BZ specifically asked him the name of the person who gave it to him.

 

[momof7]

Did he name the friend who gave him a boot-leg copy?

Yep, first and last name.

I *think* it means that they will not have Good Friday off as originally planned.

 

[NCEast]

I did not hear that the Cisco employee supervised Ward. Did you hear that, NCEast? Some here are alledging this was the case.

My understanding was that the Cisco employee either told him how to perform the examine, or walked him through it. A Cisco employee who had some hands-on with the way Ward got the information....something to that effect. That's the way I heard it but I may be wrong.

 

[FullDisclosure]

Yep, first and last name.

Kelly

...and made him spell it.

Poor writing by reported.. I think she means court will be held on Friday (in addition to Tuesday-Thursday this week). Jury, apparently, wanted a 3 day weekend for the holiday.

so black women are always from a low socioeconomic strata?!

not in my neighborhood. their houses are 3 times the size of mine

 

[NCEast]

I think the Friday mention was not that they were off til Friday but that the jurors were going to have to be there Friday. Earlier, they were told they would have Friday off.

 

[NCEast]

Gosh, you guys are flying on here. I'm still a page behind and can't get caught up!!!!!!

I am sure delay until Friday is not right. The judge is not going to give the defense any down time with the jury already not happy with delays. You are right poor choice of words.

 

[LaLaw2000]

Yep, first and last name.

Kelly

And he even spelled the last name out!

Cisco employee helped make a copy of the hard drive at Cisco.
Ward examined the copy of the hard drive at his lab at home alone.

Ward testified that some of the hardware and software in his lab was by special arrangements with friends and previous employers. Some folks might call that stealing.

 

[gracielee]

Maybe he has a business trip. I'm sure his work isn't just local.

I know you hate these, but I'm sorry. I just can't resist this one.


:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:


me thinks 'his work' is about to fall into a slump. And his *equipment* might just be confiscated.
