"Did the prosecution actually say that about Facebook?"

No, it was the defense basically mocking the prosecution for attempting to discredit their original witness based on facebook privacy settings.

Appeal will probably be easy.

Fartly justice.

Judge rules with the State...they are going to suppress the computer forensic expert witness

4/25/2011 10:18:56 AM

I don't get why they can't just delay this guy's testimony.

4/25/2011 10:19:13 AM

^They've got to keep the testimony away from the jury at all costs, otherwise they won't be able to put away their man.

If it wasn't Brad and they somehow caught the real killer they'd probably still proceed with the trial.

Well, that's as guaranteed overturn on appeal.

Ha. What goes around.

Hopefully there won't be an appeal.

I'm not commenting on whether or not Brad is actually innocent, but the prosecution damn sure hasn't given me anything to even think he did it.

4/25/2011 10:24:24 AM

This witness is annoying already

4/25/2011 10:34:55 AM

Too young to remember something called a land line.

Wow, didn't think it had been that long.

4/25/2011 10:35:22 AM

HOLY GEEZ THAT TIE!

I get why the prosecution doesn't want it, but I don't see why it wasn't an option for the judge or defense especially considering that one of his reasons was that the prosecution wasn't given enough time to prepare. What if the defense waited until next week to call him? Can they find another expert, give notice today and give the prosecution a week to review the data?

4/25/2011 10:42:13 AM

hahaha did he just say to the jury "he's not listening" ??

4/25/2011 10:46:10 AM

dang I had my earbud out

^who was he talking about?

4/25/2011 10:46:50 AM

This guy testifying now is pretty funny to me. I like how he was asked about his work experience and he launches into giving a history of telecom companies and wireless technology going back to 1946.

lol he also just said he has been in a lot of cases with "policemen acting as amateur forensic people"

4/25/2011 10:48:40 AM

"how to preserve cell phone information for later use in a case"

meaning how to NOT DELETE the information

4/25/2011 10:49:22 AM

This guy likes to hear himself talk.

4/25/2011 10:54:55 AM

^Well, he's got to boast himself up to qualify as an expert. But I don't think it puts him off in the least bit to hear his own voice.

With the shell and sim cards enGLAVEN

4/25/2011 11:28:59 AM

Wow--instead of admitting that CPD erased the phone, those websleuths people are trying to say Brad "bought an identical phone and switched it with Nancy's" or "Brad must have removed and replaced the SIM card himself to confuse everyone" and "Brad had a special program that would make it automatically wipe."
Idiots.

4/25/2011 11:37:16 AM

I like this guy.

He's explaining how the phones work and what the CPD did in pure English. The jury should be able to understand this testimony very well.

When his testimony actually answers the questions, it is good, but the man has diarrhea the mouth in a bad way.

ok so i've been in a meeting for an hour...whats going on?

4/25/2011 12:05:55 PM

This cell phone/gps expert is testifying to the fact that CPD didn't handle Nancy's cell phone correctly

4/25/2011 12:10:41 PM

this guy is testifying that the CPD fucked up royally when they handled nancy cooper's phone

4/25/2011 12:11:18 PM

I ♥ this fellow



he is everything special to me

4/25/2011 12:12:45 PM

I wonder if he's met Rosemary?

4/25/2011 12:14:04 PM

and there it is. The question about if he thought CPD deleted the info on purpose

4/25/2011 12:21:01 PM

how is an expert on cellphones not able to testify to the fact that a cellphone was deleted



what in the christ

4/25/2011 12:21:17 PM

a broken hyoid

just sayin'

4/25/2011 12:22:19 PM

I think the defense knew that question would be objected to. That question was for the jury

4/25/2011 12:22:41 PM

WRAL isn't hiccuping at all for me.

I think it's got a lot to do with your connection.

4/25/2011 12:27:39 PM

Well dang, learned something today - can't wipe the phone AND sim card through the method by which CPD claims to have accidentally wiped the phone. Pretty interesting...

4/25/2011 12:48:48 PM

^ daaannnnggg. so CPD did something else to erase everything...

"Raleigh, N.C. — The judge presiding over the first-degree murder trial of a Cary man accused of killing his wife suppressed testimony Monday from an expert defense witness, saying prosecutors didn't have enough time to prepare for cross-examination. Defense attorneys for Brad Cooper notified the state last week about its intention to call Giovanni Masucci to testify about computer forensics after Superior Court Judge Paul Gessner ruled another witness could not be tendered as an expert witness in the area. Masucci was expected to testify Monday, but Wake County Assistant District Attorney Boz Zellinger said that he didn't receive a three-page report on the witness's findings until Saturday. That wasn't enough notice to adequately research the results or consult with FBI computer experts who were away on assignments, Zellinger said. Zellinger added he also had concerns about the findings, because it was based on tests and data from the previous defense expert, Jay Ward. "The prejudicial effect far outweighs the probative value of this evidence, at this time," Gessner said. Prosecutors say Brad Cooper, 37, strangled his wife in their Cary home in the early-morning hours of July 12, 2008, and dumped her body at a construction site in a neighborhood 3 miles from their home. The state's case relies mostly on evidence found on Brad Cooper's computer of a Google Maps search of the site where Nancy Cooper's body was found. It was made one day before she went missing. Brad Cooper has said his wife went jogging around 7 a.m. that day and never returned home. His attorneys have questioned Cary police investigators' work in the case, accusing them of ignoring witnesses and evidence, tampering with the defendant's computer and purposely deleting data from Nancy Cooper's BlackBerry Pearl smartphone. Ben Levitan, an expert in wireless telephone systems, testified Monday that the phone wasn't properly protected while in police custody and that the account of how Cary police investigator Jim Young wiped the phone was in inconsistent with the actual process of deleting the data. Young testified that he accidentally wiped the phone in August 2008 while trying to unlock the phone based on the cellphone provider's instructions. Levitan said he would have expected a report explaining what had happened but that there was none."

If rosemary is ever widowed, we need to set the two of them up.

4/25/2011 1:08:52 PM

that dude just put his feet all over Young's couch.

4/25/2011 1:09:57 PM

so wait, does that mean that the detective was just busted about lying on the stand about he fucked up the cellphone?
