I just wanted to say, that I think it is very telling that Derstine did not offer an explanation of what MTR meant by his Status Update on April 8th, prior to the abduction and murder.

I was surprised that he did not.

Maybe his lawyer knows in his heart that MR is guilty and doesn't want to prove he is innocent as he is not cross examining to many witnesses etc. JMO

Explaining how cell phones communicate with towers.

RaffertyLFP: Broad explains that cell receivers can be on towers or mounted or building - Cellphones are constantly connected to network

Broad says if a cell phone is on, it always sends out signals, trying to find the closest available tower.

Oh believe me, that is coming (no pun intended).

Every co-incidence is going to be explained away when they present their case. Remember Derstine has always maintained that we "don't know the whole story". I'll bet it will be a doozy.

MOO

The jury is getting a short lesson on how Bell's cellular network operates. Explanation of towers, antennas, transceivers, etc...

 

[Sailor Bug]

Bell explains the cell phone always knows where it is, as it's always trying to connect to towers

RaffertyLFP: Broad explains how a cell site has up to three sectors with antennas that point in different directions in a triangular fashion

RaffertyLFP: The cell tower can pick up which sector the cellphone signal is being received from

 

[Wondergirl]

Obviously, there are other related offerings to Rafferty's Facebook, that we are not aware of from the tweets.

From the 47 second mark on the following video, it shows some correspondence with AL AFTER the murder.

Explaining complicated technical details of cell phone towers.

RaffertyLFP: The cell tower can pick up which sector the cellphone signal is being received from

RaffertyLFP: Broad said the cell towers can cover a small or wide area depending on its location and the volume of calls - rural towers cover wider area

Once again, #Rafferty has his head bowed and is writing in a stack of papers from the prisoner's box

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
The testimony right now is very technical. #Rafferty is busy writing notes, not sure if related to witness or something else #sl

bbm

 

[Sailor Bug]

RaffertyLFP: Broad said network logs all calls going through the cell system including number of caller and number called and location where call made

In the Bell billing system, the area the user was in when the call started is the only one that appears in the bill.

The system also tracks where users get text messages, pictures, download music, or ringtones.

Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
As Broad's testimony continues #Rafferty is sorting through a pile of papers, often making notes. Doesn't seem to be listening to witness.

ETA: Working on his spreadsheet? LOL

I wonder if he is writing love letters to all the women he was in relationships with between March and May 2009??? That may take him a while. LOL

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Broad explaining how texts, downloads, picture messages are measured by frequency, unlike voice calls which measured by length #sl

 

[~n/t~]

Linda Nguyen ‏ @LindaNguyenPN
Broad says Bell records where calls are made so they can easily bill customers #Rafferty #ToriStafford

 

[~n/t~]

Linda Nguyen ‏ @LindaNguyenPN
Bell does not keep records of where text messages are sent from #Rafferty #ToriStafford


Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Broad says texts not billed for long distance, so they usually don't track where they originate from #sl

 

[Sailor Bug]

RaffertyLFP: The Bell system can track the area where the call started including text messages and photos, The billing is based on where the call started

However, locations are not on the bill, as there is no difference in price.

Broad explaining the different types of calls in the Bell system (incoming, outgoing, data, etc.)

RaffertyLFP: The Bell system can track the area where the call started including text messages and photos, The billing is based on where the call started

The other two tweeters said texts can't be tracked?? Huh?
