State v Bradley Cooper 3-17-2011

[Just the Fax]

Brad and his attorney blabbed, blabbed and blabbed some more.
Jason Young and his attorney were TOTALLY silent.
Perhaps that is why one case took 3 1/2 months and the other 3 years:waitasec:

I'm confused on the phone myself. Jessica A. said she saw a cell phone in the SUV. Brad was away from the home when Jessica looked in Nancy's car. The police were already there when Brad arrived home. Brad reached in the drawer in the cabinet in the foyer and handed the police officer Nancy's phone. Did she have 2 phones? Was Jessica wrong about what she saw?

The info on NC's phone has been bothering me.... If she was so careful about her phone, would she store it in the foyer cabinet? Perhaps if she always went out/in the house from the front door (not likely) -- and only used it when she was out -- but would she leave it out like that -- even if it was access-passworded??

And BC knew just where it was -- in spite of the level of their relationship at this time. Did BC remove it from her car when doing other things under cover of darkness?? This just doesn't smell right to me... Can anybody clear this up for me? -- I probably just missed a detail or two.:waitasec:

I am listening to part 3 of the defense opening statements finally. I can't get over how he is saying Brad was trying to work it out and do things around the house and be a better dad and husband and all this crazy stuff about how everyone can program a voip to call out when they want. I don't know how to do that, I wouldn't even know where to begin..

This does make me nervous about J. Pearson and how he didn't tell LE that he had an affair with her at first? Unless the defense is lying about a lot of this stuff, I think the prosecution is in big trouble.

So far there are a few things that were said in the defense opening that have been negated in testimony from witnesses.

Speaking of AL, I can't wait to read her book on the Cooper and Young murders.
(chapters 1 & 2)......look for it in 2012.

I was not too crazy about her writing style in Deadly Dose, and reading the Amazon reviews, I am not alone in that, but the other book on the Stephanie Bennett case is getting better reviews... anybody read that? Thoughts?

Come on Kurtz.

Not only missing...but they had the sinking gut feel that harm had come to NC, even before her body was found. You might want to discount their observations of everything they noticed and saw, but I sure don't. They *knew.* And, of course, they were right.

That was my point. Their observations at that moment in time were completely biased because they knew in their gut that something happened to her.

Sorry that makes no sense to me. They.Were.Right!

Forget my dumb question about his having an accent. I just listened to a snippet of his taped deposition. He doesn't have an accent but he is a "fast talker".

Brad Cooper claimed innocence and fought for his kids (which I would expect an innocent person to do...NOTE: I'm not saying he is innocent). Jason Young didn't give a $%!@$# about Cassidy.

It wouldn't have been under the cover of darkness since JA claims to have seen it in the vehicle on Saturday. Not sure how it got into the house if it was. But given that it was pw protected, I don't think it was a big deal to leave it in the drawer. I wonder if car keys, etc. were kept in that drawer.

When did he hire them? I doubt he had representation before her body was found. So that would have been Tuesday at the earliest. I thought he got representation when NCs parents filed the emergency motion about the kids. Wasn't that Wednesday? And they took the pictures on Thursday? Not unreasonable.

We know that she had her phone with her at the party. I don't see her storing it in the car for the night. It would be possible that the phone in the car was an old phone that she let the kids play with if there was a cell phone in the car.

Concerning the blackberry phone:

1. Prior to the data being erased did anyone from LE attempt to unlock the phone?
2. Was the blackberry seized by the police on 7/12 (Saturday) or at some later time?
3. If at some later time did LE successfully view data on blackberry before the data was erased?
4. Assuming there must be 10 consecutive failed login attempts what happens if I intentionally fail 9 times and then a week later I enter the wrong password, would this be considered the 10th failure? Or would this be considered 1 failure?

I find it hard to believe that any professional would continue to enter the wrong pw 10 consecutive times. Perhaps someone knows if the LE actually attempted to enter the wrong pw 10 times? Or is this an assumption being made since the data was erased?

Found a picture on WRAL site of the MBR

Now...see the 2 white laundry baskets stacked on top of each other on the left?

Look on the left side of the baskets, where they are closest to the wall/door.

The green dress Nancy was wearing at the party is sort of hanging out of the bottom basket. Hard to see as it's sitting behind that blue thing.

You can see that the bedcovers are rolled down. CPD does not call this disheveled (because the covers are rolled).

NCSU95...you missed the point.
Showing his neck 5 days later is a moot point.
Surface abrasions would have easily healed by then.

And here's the bed in the MBR.

The indentation on the side is (apparently) from Det. Daniels sitting on the edge of the bed (Kurtz had a field day with this 'tampering of evidence').

Dismukes and Hays said the bed did not appear to have been slept in.

That's right. I forgot about that. I'm still shaking my head that he would lie about something like that that is so easy to verify. That made me wonder if the officer didn't misunderstand Brad. Does anyone know if he has any accent (not the lovely North Carolina twang but a Canadian type.) (Not that the Canadian accent isn't lovely.)

Listening to him in the affys (I listened to a couple of hours today to BC) -- he has excellent, even diction, a bit of the Old Richmond, VA, accent when saying things like "thousand") and really doesn't have any distinguishable intonation problems or "nasal" sounds. No discernible accent at all to me, but I might guess Canandian (or Richmond, VA) if I heard him speak & did not know).

SG, the photo of the MBR, is this the same phone shown to LE and they claimed that it does not look like the bed was slept in?
