8:35 p.m.
He says he ran keyword searches against the bin files for the text messages.

He also looked through the databases and identified more photos not part of the report that included a picture of a hand holding a gun taken by that phone.

Connor says there were several text exchanges where he says Martin was trying to buy or sell a handgun, plus pictures showing the gun on a table and in a hand.

He says they were marked as deleted, but the data was still on the phone.

Connor says pictures normally stay on a device until deleted or removed. He says devices can go bad and can be deleted without the user’s intention.

Judge Nelson says they could be deleted by anyone and the question is asking him to speculate.

Connor says it is his opinion the pictures were deleted on purpose.

He says the phone had a passcode.

8:28 p.m.
O’Mara waives Zimmerman’s appearance for him to step out of the courtroom.

West says another exhibit contains photographs found on the phone.

West says he would like to admit his CV as evidence. Judge Nelson says she hasn’t determined if he could be heard before the jury.

Connor says he is a member of the Florida bar and certified by Cellebrite.

He says he received several Bin files for the case, one of which was a data dump from the memory of Martin’s phone.

He used the Cellebrite software to analyze Martin’s phone and identified hidden and deleted texts and Facebook messages.

Connor says when the data is loaded into the software it runs scripts that analyze the data.

He says the bin file is like an image of the phone’s data. He says the picture numbers in the state attorney’s report didn’t match in his software.

I have zero sympathy for her being in court until after 9 p.m., reading cases for the rest of the night and being back in court at 8 a.m. ZERO.

As a wise RT poster (you) so eloquently pointed out earlier today -- these pre-trial issues should have been handled pre-trial.

None of these people got a dinner break, right? To deal with a pre-trial issue.

8:47 p.m.
Connor says he also extracted messages of Martin describing being in at least one fight.

He says there was data not analyzed by the software and when he manually examined it, he saw text messages that appeared to be created by an

Android app he says was designed to hide text messages.

Connor says a couple things got his attention when he ran keyword searches and got hits for what looked like texts but they weren’t in the right place.

He says another indication was the SPC database was listed, but there was no parsed data from it.

Connor said he knew those types of apps existed. He says the user would have to pull up the app and put in the passcode.

He says it would take at least two passcodes for a user to access the locked messages on the phone.

8:40 p.m.
Connor says the messages will show if they were in the in or out folder, who it was for or came from, and more, which is all indicated on the reports.

West asks about the other person asking about the purchase of a firearm.

Connor says they were between Feb. 18 and Feb 22, 2012.

Connor lists the other people in the conversations.

Connor says there were messages mentioning Martin going to Sanford.

West asks about the exhibit showing the picture appearing to be of Martin from the cell phone.

Connor says there was no metadata in that picture identifying the device that took the picture.

Then she would not have time to pretty herself in the morning...


come to think of it, she must be busy every night.

They slipped one in. Must be busy working to get ready for tomorrow.

Does anyone know of "Lavondria"? Has her name come up before the texts?

Maybe they're just confident the judge won't change her pre-written ruling.

8:56 p.m.
West moves to the exhibit of the messages about fighting.

Connor says it came from Martin’s phone.

He says he created the spreadsheet, which is a log table of the text messages.

He says messages went back and forth from and to Martin about a fight.

The first message is “wyd,” which Connor says means “what you doing?”

West has him read the rest of the messages.

Indeed: a poet. Perhaps even a beat (down) poet.

Never thought I'd feel sorry for Rene Stutzman of OS... she looks soooo tired.

Hmmm... I was right. I don't feel sorry for her.

9:15 p.m.
Connor says Martin’s name was not on the account. He confirms it was on a family account.

Connor says the discussion was about a gun and the last one was someone trying to buy a gun from Martin.

Connor says he was not there when the message where typed, but when viewing thousands of messages on a phone, he says he gets a flavor for the person and he can get a pretty good idea if it is the same person.

He was not there when the photos were taken, he says.

The picture of the gun is the same one repeated three times.

Mantei asks about the deletion of the items.

Connor confirms anyone could have done it. He says he cannot tell when the deletions were done.

Mantei asks if hypothetically a parent might’ve deleted things. Connor says there’s nothing in the data that tells him when things were deleted but he can look for patterns.

Mantei asks if Zimmerman could’ve known anything that was on the phone the night of the shooting.

Connor says he doesn’t know.

West asks about the mass deletions.

Connor says certain subjects to certain people were deleted. He confirms messages about drugs and drug use were deleted, along with ones about guns.

He says there is no indication someone deleted things en masse.

Connor confirms there was pornography on the phone.

Judge Nelson says it has nothing to do with the scope of the proffer, but she understands West’s point.

9:08 p.m.
Connor says messages to another person also talked about a fight.

He reads the messages.

Connor says a Facebook message from Martin’s half-brother asked him when he was going to teach him how to fight.

West submits them as evidence for the proffer.

Connor says the pictures of the handgun were taken by the phone.

West finishes questioning.

Mantei cross examines.

Trayvon being proven to be a thug, fighter and devious young man in the Connor testimony ..... if the state loses this, the entire Trayvonites story falls down like the house of cards it is.

This testimony is more fascinating than any of the witnesses to date (IMO).

hee, hee

Rumpole - we'll have a drink for you!
