The Silk Road statement: Where are the packetlogs? 12 years ago
Old joke in defense work:
Q: What does the government call an illegal wiretap? A: "The anonymous informant".
Whoever below pointed out that a jury of 12 morons will NOT be persuaded by some turgid debate over the minutiae of packets is 100% correct. You can always spot someone naive about how the legal system actually works based on just how loftily ideological their narratives and 'theories' are.
Nevertheless, this is relevant from a procedure standpoint as if the defense can demonstrate malfeasance on the part of the FBI using computer forensics, they can have certain evidence dismissed.
