State v Bradley Cooper 04-19-2011

[Just the Fax]

Lie, never. Be proven incorrect, possibly but not likely. Certainly not at this stage in his career and in his own backyard. Too much riding on it.

BTW my own track record is rather good in these matters. Quite willing to put it up against yours or that of the prosecution. Forty plus years in this mess.

Without completely decloaking, check out my postings at wral, salon, democraticunderground, theregister.co.uk and similar sites. I am not the unc70 posting in Chatham County, nor posting at other sites not mentioned.

I have posted occassionally in error. For example, it took me over six months to realize that Obama lived most of his first year in Seattle while his mother was enrolled at UWash.

:tmi:

LOL, i'm quite sure you know more about computers than me.

You don't even know that BC rode on Holly Springs Rd.

He and I did several of the same events and trained in the same area. I didn't know him but I also don't know anyone who didn't ride that road. That and Kildaire provided the elevation. He was doing distance cycling but didn't ride the circuit around his house? He was training for rides over 100 miles and didn't leave his neighborhood?

Ok, I've never asked him and I don't know him so I don't know that he did the practical, reasonable, almost impossible to avoid thing. But I believe he would have, to accomplish the events he chose to participate in. And he would have seen the Fielding Dr. sign.

Granted if one is wedded to believing in innocence at all costs, one could think he was sequestered in his home (despite training for long distance triathlons) without knowledge of nearby roads and yet also had his computer hacked, all to support his not knowing about the street his wife was dumped on.

I like Kurtz. Granted his voice is strange and grating at first, but it doesn't bother me. And, he fights hard for his client. So, I have to disagree with you on who wouldn't. But you are correct that Judge G doesn't hide his total dislike for him. As for rulings, you are entitled as always to your opinion.

I think Kurtz is a phenomenal attorney. Direct, quick, thorough and as you said fights hard for his client. While his voice is a bit irritating it is much more tolerable that the prosecutor. He puts me to sleep.

What day did he testify? Is he DD's husband by chance?

Ex-husband. But they were married at the time of the murder.

I think my concern is that there's no real line drawn in the sand as to what this means. I agree that Mr. Ward is not a "forensic expert" and I think he stated that. But I don't think you have to know forensics to detect intrusion on a computer and tampering. And if the court is not going to allow him to testify as to obvious signs of intrusion (which is something Mr. Ward testified he has been doing for 18 years), then I have a problem with that. If they're simply not allowing him to testify as to the proper procedures for a forensic exam, then that's fine.

I think it's telling that his results matched up with the FBI--so, apparently the tools and methods he used didn't really matter that much.

But if he wants to say "this file should never be modified without manual use" then I don't see how one would specifically need to be forensically qualified as a computer expert, when that's just plain intrusion detection.

I personally don't think intrusion detection is that plain. I would venture to say that every single one of us have "intrusions" on our computers. I don't care how good your anti-virus, spyware detection is. There are files deposited on all computers. Does that mean that it compromised the integrity of the examination done by the FBI? I really don't think so. But I do think that the defense can spin that simple fact to bamboozle the jury with BS. MOO

If you had been able to watch this afternoon, you might have a different perspective. MOO

He was definitely a different judge after Kurtz accused him of bias. I was quite surprised.

I'm not talking about saving face. I'm saying that I think it is going to be awful hard to convince a jury that the prosecution knows what they are doing and that there is not reasonable doubt that someone else did it when in 2011, they tried to convince a jury that they were sure that BC did it.

But they wouldn't need to convince a jury of anything to re-open the case. I thought it was interesting when DD said the case was still "ongoing" and then when Kurtz asked about it later he said "oh. I just mean because we're still going to court over this case, etc.". I think they know they don't have their guy but it is way too late to admit it. I want the killer to be caught (if it's not BC) so I hope they keep an open mind if he is found not guilty.

Let's say CD is not credible. What do we do with his testimony and has CD now implicated himself in this murder?

 

[Just the Fax]

As a matter of fact - YES - our children used to play together up until last year when he still lived in Lochmere.

Let me guess - do you want proof? You seem to be big on that.

Watch out, he is a possible murder suspect according to some.
I hear he reads here and could possibly pick out a lady from NJ whose kids played together.

You lost me at "quick" in describing Kurtz. He is anything but quick. MOO

Yes- I saw the obvious change. Just wish Kurtz would have done this weeks ago. Hoping he will more reasonable throughout the duration of this trial

In comparison to Cummings I will have to stick with quick

Me too. We will see how long it lasts.

Well, we don't know what happened during the questioning of the undercover agent today. We do know that when he questioned JW, the judge was overruling the prosecution. You see it as being after the accusation. I see it as when he started his CIC as we know it. MOO

I have never suggested that someone planted anything to place BC in the position he is in now. I do not think anyone in that neighborhood nor in their cirlce of friends has anything at all to do with NC's murder. I truly believe they were just great friends who looked out for one another. We should all be so lucky to have friends like that. But I also know there is a tendency to exaggerate whem amongs friends. I think things were bad between BC and NC, but maybe not as bad as her friends claimed them to be.

That being said, I don't know who killed NC. I still don't know if it was BC or someone else? I am curious to hear the remainder of the trial before I make up my mind

Of course you dont know who did nor apparantly accept Brad could have done this..BUT it is obvious his neighbours or friends didnt spoof computer activities..and SODDI is also not viable given the state of Nancy's body, and the lack of stealing her diamond ear rings..yet due to some dis-beliefs of credibilities in friends of hers that Brad was framed...THAT is what I wonder about?? Stranger didnt do this..only the person who stood to gain by it did..and can you even suggest who could have gained by strangling Nancy and dumping her..and leave expensive earrings on her person?

It really does come down to motive, means and opportunity..nothing more and nothing less.. and BTW I never even suggested you thought that your acquaintance did this..however you certainly dont like this person..that I got

Just wondering if you are this snarky in person or is it just the persona you use when you hide behind a computer?

I NEVER suggested he is a possible murder suspect. NEVER. And I said "played" together. If you are going to get so literal, get it right.

I know you mentioned in an earlier post that you wished you could have stood next to him (CD) hooping and hollaring when BC was arrested - but I would caution you to take the advice of those more familiar with him before forming a friendship. I don't think it will be what you expect.

That's like comparing the tortoise and the snail.

Actually a brilliant move by Kurtz.
He knew full well the judge had grounds for his rulings.
His tantrum and grandstanding may work to get some future rulings to go his way, even if it is not in the best interest of justice.

Kinda like K and Roy working the refs.
