Software designer says Casey Anthony prosecution data was wrong

[JSR]

Dd LDB mention 84 searches in her closing arguments?

No, she did not.

 

[dunlurken]

No, she didn't.

Yes, she did. Seriously. why would that number stick in the back of my brain for ever? I watched the examination of Cindy and that number was mentioned quite a few times.............. but the relevant point here is the manufacturerer of the software said the software was not credible. Shot himself, and LE, in the foot, IMO. :floorlaugh:

 

[Aedrys]

Wow, watching HLN, imo, the State is in trouble. I predict LDB's resignation shortly.

Dramatic much? What happened to talking about provable facts? When did we move into pure hearsay and slander? Like HLN is the be all end all in the legal field. Please. They just want a story like every other news station and probably haven't checked their facts, like most news outlets. How many times did the media get things wrong in this case in the last three years? And now they are gospel since it's an accusation against the SA?

 

[Horace Finklestein]

Not only that but how is throwing baseless accusations against the DT different from someone accusing the State of willfully withholding this stuff without anything to back it up other than what this guy is saying?

The DT has a record of lying and misleading the court from the beginning, the SA does not.

 

[everyoneneedsavoice]

I don't think this is a big deal either, but the DT/Casey/CA/GA have nothing to do with this story. This is the computer expert who came forward with this. I think we should stop spreading misinformation.

WOW...although I'm not sure why this is in response to Oakley, considering that post was clearly his/her opinion. But...I would certainly say there's a whole lotta misinformation in this entire thread....that's not labeled as opinion...this is "bump worthy"...if only for that last sentence.:waitasec:

 

[Oakley]

okay, i apologize. what is your opinion then?

Read back to my post that you quoted and you'll find my opinion there.

Is it me or has the world suddenly gone crazy? This person that no one knows makes a claim that does not seem to make sense, but everyone is taking him at his word. Do you remember how you felt at the end of the closing statements? I was worried after hearing Baez and Mason ("remember, what would Mr. Mason do?" Sheesh), but Jeff Ashton and LDB were FLAWLESS in how they tied it all together. They were brilliant throughout the trial. A defense witness would have me concerned, the prosecution ripped them to shreds. REMEMBER???

Do you honestly believe that JA and LDB INTENTIONALLY WITHHELD EVIDENCE???? I don't and I won't unless someone shows me cold hard proof!!!!!! 12 jurors did the wrong thing, that doesn't mean the prosecution loses their hero status. They did their best, I believe they were completely honest in all respects, and if Bradley can prove otherwise I will eat my words, but until then....JA and LDB are the ones that earned my trust!

The question was, "Did LDB mention 84 searches in her closing arguments". (See above)

No, she did not. Nor did she bring up chloroform at all. Please go back and watch her closing argument before putting out misinformation.

Well, the world have picked up on this case and the legal heads think the Prosecutors could have done something wrong. Hopefully we hear from the State very soon because now people are asking questions. jmo

alright, i see your opinion there. now what i am saying, is that, the defense team did NOT put this out there. the cacheback guy did.

 

[R.U.Kidding!]

You do realize that one of the links you provided was to a BLOG!

Questions?---What has the SA office said with reference to this accusation?


Why would the prosecutor withhold this information from the defense, knowing if found guilty of "first degree" this info could result in a mistrial.
Wouldn't the defense team know there were no 84 searches and have sought out their own experts or at least review of the report?

I apologize if these question have been already been discussed--just point me to the posted comments on this subject.

 

[JSR]

That is a good read for those who don't understand the merits of this situation.

Directly taken from RH's article

"But my question is how do we know the State Attorney’s Office didn’t know that the computer search was flawed. If they did, they not only had a duty to disclose it to the defense, but a duty to disclose it to the court, and more than likely a duty to correct it in front of the jury."

The important point above is that we DON'T know the SA's knew the computer search was flawed. And we don't. And tossing out accusations until we know is just as bad as the DT opening statement accusing GA and LA of molesting FCA without any proof of the molestation.

And the SA did disclose it to the defense once they knew the error. The DT could have asked for a instruction to the jury and they didn't. And HHJP didn't decide to make one. End of story.

 

[LambChop]

Aren't we all assuming that this was not brought to defense's attention whenever LDB was notified and defense may have agreed the chloroform searches should not be mentioned in the closing statement.

If I were defense the last thing I would want is SA bringing in this witness in right before rebuttal to verify that only one search was done when Cindy admitted to searching more than once on that site. And if this computer expert claims to have been wrong, notifying the court there would have been an error would be more approriate than telling the jury there was an error without checking it out first. jmo

Well if he informed LDB at the end of June and LDB entered the findings into the court, she should be fine. Is there footage of the Judge addressing the Jury telling them to disregard the 84 number?

 

[Oakley]

alright, i see your opinion there. now what i am saying, is that, the defense team did NOT put this out there. the cacheback guy did.

Again, you are putting words in my mouth. Please stop. IMO this mistake is being capitalized on in an attempt to soften Casey's public image IMO. That is all!!!

 

[Hexxgurl311]

If the SA said she searched for how to make chloroform and she really didn't that would be HUGE. But she did search for how to make chloroform, whether it was once or 204 times she searched for it. That one time search is enough.

Well, the world have picked up on this case and the legal heads think the Prosecutors could have done something wrong. Hopefully we hear from the State very soon because now people are asking questions. jmo

My bolding

Could have?

And from "could have" you got that that state is is trouble and you predict LDB's resignation shortly?
