A phone knows when it’s been raised or laid down. Any data it inputs from it’s accelerometer is recorded in the device. That would be discoverable in a forensic examination. So an examination could tell if he just put his phone down or not. Also, you can compare typing patterns.
iPhone has programing that learns and improves its type response accuracy based upon how you type. It knows where your thumb most often touches a letter and even though everything looks all neat and lined up on our end of things, it adjusts the letters slightly to make sure we more accurately touch the letter we are trying to touch. There are many options to investigate when it comes to phone usage, even if something seems impossible to figure out or something appears easy to pass off as never being able to find out, there is always evidence to explore and document when it comes to electronic usage. Even the speed at which you type can be compared to the speed of when something else was typed. This can be shown as evidence of common or uncommon activity. Even if it’s just circumstantial evidence, it’s still evidence.
The story on FoxNews said the FBI is now involved in the case because it was reported to them. And they will look into it because it’s been reported to them, and because of the publicity. Investors don’t like being used as a tool to absorb lies. The case goal will likely turn to whatever the FBI’s version of “Falsely reporting an Crime“ is for them. That’s what is called on the state level when I investigated false claims. Under their investigation, you can use any and all of the same resources to prove a crime didn’t happen, just as if they were trying to prove a crime did occur. This is the big boy version of the old saying a “lie gets you in more trouble”. Except federal time is involved.
When that instance occurs you look at the information around the denied action(s). If he’s doing normal activities immediately before and immediately after, the probability that he was hacked mere seconds or minutes before he sent his wife an “I love you text” and just after he leveled up on Angry Birds, is highly unlikely. Especially when you can show his device in consistent operation.
I worked too many child pornography cases in my career. Many used the “I was hacked” defense. Every single time we were able to show a consistent pattern of steady, non criminal activity just before and after the offense. It’s often circumstantial evidence but when you show a consistent pattern of behavior leading up to, and then after the criminal material was accessed, a jury is often not too hard to convinced that it was the suspect who did it, and not the boggyman.
Also, the suspect usually has a specific type or kind of child pornography they like. If someone is into red headed little boys, you can often show that pattern over time on the device and/or PC. Just like they will or could find previous communication with the guy he was asking. You articulate to a jury that a someone hacking into someone else’s PC would most likely plant random images of criminal material, not just one or two specific areas (red headed kid example). People who watch adult porn generally have specific areas of interest you can see over time, i.e. bondage, black woman, threesomes, etc. they may look at other things, but often comeback to what they like the best. People who watch child porn are even more so narrowed in their searches because freely browsing has a higher probability of getting caught. Possession of child pornography used to be a difficult case to bring to trial. Now it’s one of the easiest. I know the issue isn’t about child pornography, but the “I was hacked” claim is proven false by the same methods. This case will go away quickly.
Over 9000? That’s impossible!
I hate seeing all these garbage news personalities acting concerned when they’ve been dogging him for 5 years! This feeds right into their desire to virtue signal.
This is expected, try not to panic.
Kentucky cop here (retired in 2018, thank God). There was 0% chance, regardless of if the grand jury voted in favor of, or if they returned a vote of no true bill, that a anyone wasn’t going home smelling like fire or with some new Jordan’s/iPhones. This is about the ability to be destructive and steal, not justice or truth.
He has great sound bites and writes stern letters, but that’s about it. Don’t be fooled.
“Laughs in cocaine” had me truly laughing, which is rare because I’m dead inside, so thanks OP. I needed that.
She probably been dead for days now. If not longer. And I agree, her wishes don’t matter. It’s not her seat, it’s America’s seat. It wasn’t her’s before she got it, and it’s not her’s after she’s gone. It’s a lifetime appointment and that lifetime is gone.
Found your Halloween costume I see.
I’m a retired detective and I’m been on many many fly trips to pick up suspects I obtained an arrest warrant for who fled and were captured in another state. When I fly armed the pilot and the rest of the crew are always notified preflight of who I am and where I’ll be sitting (in the back if with prisoner). I’m also told if there’s an air marshall or anyone else flying armed on the aircraft and where they are sitting. I’ve been on dozens of flights out of many major airports including JFK, LaGuardia, Newark D.C, etc. in my career during my official duties. Only twice was there an air marshall on board.
Some people did some things.
I was in the police academy when this happened. It still feels like now. Ya just knew nothing was ever going to be the same. The unity we had in the days following was so beautiful. There weren’t Democrats or Republicans, just Americans. Here we are 19 years later and you’re barely allowed to talk about it because you might accidentally say something negative about Muslims.
Nope, it’s a Cockatoot.
Owl bet you anything that bird ain’t real.
The gasp after “you ain’t black” had me rolling.
If this case is true, a good attorney should have successfully argued leniency or dismissal under the statue and/or case law for “extreme emotional distress”. I can’t even be argued when premeditation is present. It’s been argued many times successfully for far more than this. (-Retired Detective)
I’ll allow it.
A lot of people commit murder while sitting on their butts in the middle of the street.
Retired police officer/detective here (2018). You’re trained to shoot until it stops the threat. Not to maim and not to kill. Til the threat is over. Shots happen very fast in a dynamic situation. You can easily fire 7 shots within 1 second. Most officers have no idea how many shots they have fired when it’s all said and done. There’s not much time for aiming. You draw (if you haven’t already) and pull the trigger as fast as you can. Trust me, I know.
Which unjust laws?
Stupid mayor forgets that Portland is in America. It belongs to the United States. Not the Mayor’s Office. He’s there to manage the local government, not even state government, and certainly not the federal government. This is what happens when you surround yourself with people that always say yes.
More like Vicki Vale. Trump is more of a Batman.
That’s impressive considering there’s no repercussions for posting Biden signs, but there certainly is for posting Trump signs. Your signs don’t get stolen if they are Biden, people don’t cuss you, steal them or drive through your yard and run over Biden signs. It’s easy to post a Biden sign, you’re assumed to be an idiot, but we’re assumed to “a threats”. Although these number are encouraging, remember....signs don’t vote. We have to get out there. We have to win 75% of the vote AT the polls to beat the democrats election fraud. It will take that to get to their “51%”
