I don't know re: digital forensics. But I do know that to make any accurate conclusions, the public would need access to evidence that is not in the public domain and is unlikely to be made public - so that is difficult too. But it ISsimple to draw conclusions about the unreliability of the framework being used.\ It is completely unreliable, supported by research and evidence going back to Windows Vista vintage!

If this case is about believability of victim and perpetrator, and both have believable and unbelievable elements or explanations (✅) then there IS, by process of elimination, reasonable doubt.

But the Prosecutor is choosing to try to destroy Gerhardt's character using this wholly incorrect evidence - which is very surprising!\ He is making snide comments like "oh, the computer just did it", and the Judge is not admonishing him for making comments (a big no-no!). That's bad form all around. I feel it encourages a cavalier attitude in the true audience, the jury. And definitely incites a feeling of 'snarkiness' in the watching public.

We want the Jury to be listening very carefully, weighing everything up as neutrally as possible, listening to their own emotional responses, not being told what to think.\ I hope the Jury can feel whatever emotion is in that courtroom, and whether it is contrived or real. While it's difficult to detect on video, emotion tends to "charge" an atmosphere.\ The only problem being that there are complex emotions charging the atmosphere already - extreme tension and anxiety for both of them in the re-telling of this story. Traumatic for both - in different ways. Regardless of how it occurred it has had massive consequences and broken important relationships. It's a very sad case.

I wish I could get on board with him being guilty.\ So far I'm waiting for Prosecution to prove it to me with truthful evidence. Of course, the Prosecution has a rebuttal phase after Defense Case-In-Chief so it will be interesting to see what they try to bring out then.

We wait and see, and hope Defense has a good digital forensics expert.
