Key findings

Affidavit Highlights:

“Based on the totality of the evidence, the way in which the government relied on these embedded timestamps at trial, to establish a certain date that the alleged contraband photos were taken, was knowingly and purposely misleading to both the Court and the jury.”

“[Misleading filenames] and the fact that the alleged contraband images were cherry picked to be included in the backup strongly suggests that someone created this backup and placed it on the hard drive to plant incriminating evidence while attempting to conceal the fact that evidence was being planted in this matter.”
