when they prosecute the dead guy, or all the ones they hurried back to SA?
They don’t want it for dead guys. They want it to set a precedent for future investigations and prosecutions. I am sure they already have the info that is on the phones but could not use it in this case. However, if they get Apple to routinely allow it, then it can be used in future court cases. Just my opinion, but like most here, I would be shocked if they don’t already have the info.
