Prosecutors aren't in it for the money. They don't make the big bucks like the high power defense attorneys do. Good prosecutors are in it for their idealism. And passion accompanies that idealism. A passion for the victims of the crimes. The prosecution has the burden of proof. I personally did not witness any lying or manipulating by BZ.
He lied a bunch. He lied at least 3 times in closing. He said BC was one of only 1xx (I can't recall the exact number) of voip experts in the world. It wasn't true on July 12th 2008 and wasn't even true when BC took the CCIE exam. He lied during closing when he indicated that the Saturday morning searches took place on BCs work laptop. They didn't...they were done on the downstairs family PC. He lied in closing when he said the Cisco witness said a spoofed call would last 22 seconds, which conveniently matches the duration of the 6:05 call. The witness didn't say that. He said 23 seconds...no more, no less. Shall I continue? There was one point where, in my opinion, he kept intentionally giving the wrong name during a cross examination. I don't remember who/what, but he kept saying something belonged to the wrong person, to the point that the judge corrected him. In my opinion, he lied/manipulated the judge concerning computer evidence and took advantage of JGs incompetence with regards to computer evidence.
