Yes, I think it was technology. Reading the JA's book, you can definitely tell he didn't know much about it. You need to realize that KC was born and grew up as a generation attached to cell phones and the internet. (Observe a teenager for 24 hours and you'll know what I mean). I'm more than 10 years older than she is and, I admit, I'm as much addicted to it, as she was. I'm not into cell phones but my laptop is more important to me than anything (lol).
So, looking at online presence, deleted files, google searches, texts, file transfers, etc. should have been looked at VERY closely. And, as we see, they weren't. Also, anyone remotely associated with technology knows that deleted files, searches, etc. are not permanently gone until the drive is formatted or empty space is overwritten. WHY did they not dig into this deeper? For example, KC's laptop was retrieved from TL's and LA stated that nothing could be done because "it crashed". Even after things "crash" (whatever exactly that meant we don't know), things can still be found on the drive, etc. What that checked closely? Were e-mail providers subpoenaed to provide more details about e-mails? Did MySpace provide any details that could help? I truly don't think enough was done in the technology department. Not all avenues were explored, sadly...
At the very least, looking at her activity between cell phone calls and texts and computer usage and lack of sleep would have painted the picture of a mother who couldn't possibly have had a moment to spare to properly take care of her child! Still...No one is talking about this but it was huge then and should be now! She was over-the-top non-stop doing things OTHER than taking care of her daughter.
ETA - The Prosecution was so hell-bent on breaking new ground on science regarding the chloroform that they completely ignored the "technical" information that was so clearly available regarding her whereabouts and activities. I'm sorry to say this but I thought it then and I still think it now, I think the SA felt so surely arrogant about a slam dunk that they failed to present the most compelling information they had!
