State v Bradley Cooper 04-20-2011

[RaleighNC]

He didn't have his work laptop. He couldn't have been.

When did CPD take the Cisco laptop? I thought it was quite a bit later than 7/16?

This is just outrageous that defense and defense witnesses are not allowed to discuss computer forensic reports in this court room. This allows the government to smear anyone they want and that person can not be properly defended.

That still seems incorrect. Eastern time is GMT -5 hours.

It is 5 hours in the winter months... 4 hours in the summer (daylight savings time).

I'd like to know if Brad was logged into his Cisco VPN during this time. I have to think that he would be - mostly because of his high level of dedication as well as his early morning checking of work voicemail.

If this is the case, would not the computer have had a much higher level of security?

Yes, Brad would have been on Cisco Network when doing this search..BUT defense is suggesting this search was planted after the fact...Right now Mr. Ward is saying this curser file is a static file, NOT a Dynamic Content file...
He is basing this on the fact all the times are exactly the same on the files open and closed handed files..Thats the way I am getting this anyway.

And for everyone hopping on the judge is biased bandwagon, he is giving the defense and this witness A LOT of leeway in this testimony despite constant objection by the Pros.

Kelly

How so is he giving leeway?

 

[jrb0124]

The recourse may not be towards specific individuals, but the monitoring of boards, and whether they are allowing this to happen to boost their traffic...Very unethical. ..

Are you trying to bully the WS board admins into removing posts that do not violate the TOS, but which you disagree with? not smart.

Kurtz should ask for a delay and take this up with a higher court now.

Hee Heee..Mr. Ward has created his own You tube video...."Step by Step" How to hack into a computer....hummmmmm need zero computer knowledge....Interesting , eh?

They are allowed to do so...they just need someone qualified per the court. Just because this witness was not allowed to testify to that does not mean they cannot secure another. Because of the circumstances, I would be surprised if the judge did not allow them to do so if they were able.

I thought they seized it on the 15th. That's what all this testimony is about. It's the laptop he was using at work on the 11th when he made the search.

Now there's a break in the action....I'd like to ask if their is legal recourse for the internet smear campaign of Nancy and her dear friends (or continued abuse by "the brad's" 20 pairs of busy typing hands ( IM horrified O) on the newspaper, TV, and message boards. I don't know anyone on either side of the case, and I am horrified by what I saw in writing. As a concerned member of the community.:twocents:, I would like to know because I think it abusive, maybe even criminal....and I am hoping there is recourse.

It is a poor precedent in our community for how to react to such a tragic event in our community, no matter who you believe strangled and dumped Nancy's body like trash. It looks like a concerted effort, and that bothers me, but I am only a witness to how it looks, not one who was trashed ( and Nancy can't speak for herself here), so I would not seek counsel from an attorney for my personal recourse. I just wonder about these things. :waitasec:

Yes, but all forensic experts are FBI.

 

[snowshuze]

OMG. He spoke to the jury.

<thud>

Nope - search warrant for laptop executed on Cisco office location on 7/21/2008

We still have freedom of speech.

I see that this defense witness has been run through the mud (including by you) far more than the "friends" of NC.

Not true.

 

[Just the Fax]

Why don't you tell us since you seem to think that it was said by someone, I know my comment didn't imply that. I made a general statement about DA offices.

We are discussing this case, right? :waitasec:

 

[dramamama]

No I am not, and I am sorry if you misunderstood. I was talking about another board where they were using words like "spoiled ", etc., which I have never seen anything like on this board, and why I am very happy to read the posts here. Of course there will be differing opinions, but I am quite certain the moderators would not allow language and characterizations like that here, which makes it a very credible place for everyone to discuss their opinions. My statement was intended to convey the fact that those are very defaming comments, on another board, and they are being allowed with lots of traffic on their site. It doesn't matter who they are saying those things about, I don't think public site should give voice to hurtful comments like that.

 

[RaleighNC]

Yes, but all forensic experts are FBI.

A less than 41 second Google search yielded the following form that seems to be available and credentialed in computer forensics:

http://www.krollontrack.com/computer-forensics/expert-testimony/

There were / are many options for the defense that would not have had the difficulty getting accepted as an expert as this witness.

Ya think Kurtz gave Mr Ward a bit of witness coaching during the break
