The prosecution has asked for a hearing to determine whether or not Mr. Green, Karen Read's digital forensic expert, can testify. The defense argued that all forensic experts use the same methodology—they take the digital extraction, run it through different tools, and interpret the information. The defense also argued that the prosecution's efforts to prevent the expert from testifying are "dystopian" and "Orwellian." The defense asked the court to deny the motion and not have a Daubert Hearing.
The prosecution's police expert, Trooper Guarino, ran Jen McCabe's phone through two different analyzer programs and one program indicated that the Google search was there, and that was not turned over to the defense in the initial report.
It'll be interesting to see what happens Friday's hearing and we'll be paying attention to how many times Mr. Alessi says "Orwellian" and if the court brings up the ACCRA experts and the discovery issue.
