Trial update from Friday. Trial continues tomorrow with Gary Michelson on the stand.

Thursday 10/23 was another boring day with the Costa Rican witnesses on the stand.  They started off with a Costa Rican D.A. official that spoke about the “Rogatory Letter” process which is the request for evidence from an international judicial body.  The Jury was lost as Knowles continued on.  Defendants' lawyer got up and asked her “who was paying for the entire trip."   The U.S. D.A.’s office was the answer.  How many people came up with you?  Just one more and my kids.  Who was the other?  The other D.A. from C.R.   How many more from the judicial office?  Approximately eight more came.  Pretty expensive.  The next witness got up and testified about  raiding Powers' house.  So did the next investigator then they had the Forensic Computer expert friend of Michelson’s, Scott Cooper, up there and that took over an hour.  He was the one who copied the hard drives and was supposed to be neutral.  He was the last person on the stand Thursday.

Friday 10/24 continued with the Costa Rican witnesses which included 2 D.A.'s from Costa Rica.  It appears a total of ten witnesses from CR were brought here on the state of California's dime simply to talk about the taking of the Defendants computers from his house.  They are trying to establish a chain of custody but the defendants' lawyer on cross asked all the witnesses, who packaged the computers, if any of them took the computers to the D.A.'s office to the evidence room and none of them had.  Apparently a Judge was involved in the raid and was the one who personally took the computers to the warehouse where they were apparently stored for the next five months before they were extracted to be copied.  Interestingly the Judge who took the computers did not appear as a witness and none of the witnesses showed any proof that those computers were stored in a locked evidence room.  Then more Costa Ricans testified to their copying the hard drives. Then a guy up there who said he worked for Stewart Title of Costa Rica and was put in charge of delivering the sealed package of hard drives from the D.A.'s office to the Fedex store.  I mean really, they couldn't use an official police official? They used an employee from a Real Estate office.   Then Gary Michelson's friend the computer expert who copied the hard drives in the U.S., testified again basically appearing to agitate the defense attorney and the Judge with his non-responsive answers.

The last 30 minutes saw Gary Michelson get up on the stand with the D.A. asking questions.  It was basically laying more ground work for their foundation of their evidence.  Gary Michelson is expected to testify on Monday and be cross examined by the defense attorney.

As I see it the chain of custody is only as strong as the weakest link. The chain appears to have been broken repeatedly. The Judge who took the computers did not testify. When I went through the police academy we talked about chain of custody of evidence. Every second had to be accounted for. Too many non-official people have touched the evidence. It could have very well been tampered with.
