So someone who is technically illiterate (let's take their claim at face value) has evidence tampering tools visible on their machine?

Where's the chain of custody on the original file content?

I've been watching most of this trial. As far as I can tell there is no chain of custody for video, and no one in the courtroom seems to think this is unusual.

It's sort of astounding to me that most people don't believe that prosecutors lie or mislead constantly.
