Testimony from the defense star witness blow up in their faces.
He clearly states that he has no personal knowledge of the affair and what defense presented was speculation
That is his testimony in court and very precise wording needed in a court room setting
Cell phone data. Well since this data was obtain by Trumps defense lawyers. It can only confirm that he was in the area and not what he was doing
Also there are some privacy issues as this data was obtain by the defense.
Usually this type of information can be gotten with judge approval and a warrant. There are privacy issues involved. It also only shows he was in the area and not what he was doing. Supreme court has ruled on this and does require a warrant.
Defense hiring expert to get this data is questionable as it concerns privacy issues
Prosecution has offered the following - The DA’s office also argued that there is evidence showing Willis and Wade were not in the same place on the dates listed, including “at work at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office AND VISTING THE THREE CRIME SCENES WHERE A MASS MURDER MOTIVATED BY RACE AND GENDER BIAS HAD TAKEN PLACE.”
The judge needs to get control of this hearing and focus it back on what is the real issues and who is being prosecuted
Tabloid speculation and gossip does not belong in court
I would suspect as this is a high profile case that the judge is being pretty lenient.
Given the unique nature of cell phone location records, the fact that the information is held by a third party does not by itself overcome the user’s claim to Fourth Amendment protection … we hold that an individual maintains a legitimate expectation of privacy in the record of his physical movements as captured through CSLI. The location information obtained from Carpenter’s wireless carriers was the product of a search.
Supreme court says it clearly in a split decision
