George Zimmerman's attorneys have filed a motion to delay George Zimmerman's trial until November. The motion to continue is here.There is quite a bit of new information in it.
I think the biggest revelation is about Trayvon Martin’s cell phone and mysteriously missing data. Even if you have no interest in the George Zimmerman case, you should read this to see the extent to which information stored in your phone is capable of being retrieved and provided to law enforcement (or anyone else who gets their hands on your phone and wants to know what’s on it.) It's a new dawn in the age of the Tele-Rat. [More....]
According to the Motion to Continue, the state told O’Mara that when Trayvon’s phone was recovered, the phone was wet and inoperable. On August 8, at a joint meeting, O’Mara asked if a charger could be used to restart it. FDLE analyst Steven Brenton came in and charged up the phone. When the screen came up, it said the phone was “locked out,” meaning someone had tried to unlock it more than the maximum permitted times with the wrong password. Brenton then disclosed he had performed an analysis of the phone, but was only able to access the SIM card and SD card, not the internal memory. (Eventually, O’Mara received some of the material Brenton had downloaded from the phone and Brenton's report.)
Sometime after that, someone at the state’s attorneys office shipped Trayvon's phone to a law enforcement agency in California for analysis. The agency was "seemingly able" to access the internal memory. The state refuses to give the defense any information as to who at the state’s attorney’s office decided to do this, the name of the agency it was sent to, the identity of the analyst who obtained the data, or the results obtained.
After the unnamed agency returned the phone, during the first week of January, 2013, the state sent it to Cellbrite in New Jersey for analysis. Cellbrite also was able to access the internal memory, and the state provided the defense with the results on January 18. The defense says Cellebrite obtained an "enormous" amount of information from the internal memory. But, guess what's missing? All data for Feburary 26, the day/evening of the shooting.
As illustrative example, while the analysis includes GPS locating records for Mr. Martin's phone for all of the time that he was in the Sanford area, specifically absent is any such data for February 26, 2012, the date of the event. Similarly, there seems to be missing entries regarding phone callsor texts made to or from the phone in the evening hours of February 26,2012. (My emphasis.)
Obviously, the defense wants an explanation for the missing data, and the results of the analysis from the unnamed California law enforcement agency that first accessed the phone's internal memory.
I think it’s fair to ask whether there is a legitimate explanation for Cellbrite's ability to provide GPS and other data stored on the phone for every day Trayvon Martin was in Sanford except Feb. 26, the day of the shooting. Why did only the data for Feb. 26 go down the rabbit hole? Was the data for Feb. 26 intentionally removed by the California law enforcement agency, and if so, at whose request? Or is there some innocent technological reason?
Cellebrite is like the ultimate Tele-Rat, providing vast amounts of information about your phone. Its signature product is the Cellebrite UFED Touch Ultimate.
Here’s what I’ve learned in the last 24 hours from material available on Cellebrite’s website. The Cellebrite UFED Touch Ultimate provides both physical extraction and logical extraction services. Many more phones support logical extraction than physical extraction. These are the descriptions provided for each:
Mighty convenient for the Prosecution
Thats easy. Feb 26th is my brothers’ birthday.
Too bad Nixon’s personal secretary Rose Mary Woods (18 minute gap) is no longer with us. She might be able to explain the missing information.
Remember in that era the press was actually curious about missing information.
The GPS data goes like this...
Phone Call to Girlfriend.
GPS shows Trayvon arrives home... and then leaving prior to the altercation with Zimmerman.
If I were the judge, that, by itself, would end the case against Mr. Zimmerman. If the prosecution is Nifonging him, he can’t get a fair trial. Dismissed!
Mighty convenient for the Prosecution
*************************************
No kidding , “wet” can’t be accounted for just because it was raining the day the attack occurred... for “WET” to matter the phone had to be dunked... sounds like an excuse to not dump the memory or if already dumped not to pass the data on to the defense ... based on the prosecutions prior lack of respect for the rules of evidence I would have to assume the worst since the most important data is the data that is missing ....
George is going to own Sanford in a few years...
Yes, it’s quite amazing that they were able to get all sorts of data and information from the cellphone, excepting the date of the murder. How tragic that there was no data recorded that particular day! How did his phone know that he would die that day, so no records need be made? This is truly fortunate for the prosecution.
This is my favorite:

Talkmarxist doesn't give a rat's a$$ if the "yute" was what he clearly appears to have been...a young punk headed toward a life of lawlessness.Or a punk that had already arrived there.
It has yet to be established that there was a murder. Zimmerman has been charged but not convicted. If he was acting in self-defense, he did not commit murder. Trayvon, on the other hand, appears to have been trying to kill Zimmerman. If he had succeeded, that would have been murder.
Perhaps that's why the data went missing. It provides cover and a reason for Holder's people to understand why charges have to be dropped. It would simultaneously allow them to keep believing Saint Trayvon was murdered because Zimmerman hates black people.
A blatant railroad attempt.
In a perfect world.
Zimmerman will be unable to get a fair jury, I fear.
I bet the GPS tracking shows him in many houses he wasn’t supposed to be in. He probably shot off a text right before the altercation, that said something like “Some cracker ass cracker is following me, I’m gonna go cill the muthaf’”
aHA!
The Blue Screen of Death strikes again!
(is the BSOD still around or is that, like, so yesterday?)
bump
These rules are in place to assure that evidence isn't contaminated, tampered with or manufactured ("planted").
The phone was handled by several unnamed persons, then sent by another anonymous person to an unnamed agency in another state, then returned, unlocked, to the local DA. Sounds like this happened with little or no oversight.
IMO this evidence is inadmissable.
My phone went through the comlete washer cycle. My wife heard it thumping in the drier. A few hours later, it was fully charged and ready to go. Works just fine.
