It’s at that point that Justice Sykes intervened saying he rejects the assertion.
According to Justice Sykes, the difficulty lies in what he calls ‘lazy man work’ done by the Police Investigators.
The Chief Justice notes the cyber analyst testified that he examined the audio data, prepared documents labeled ‘Not for court ‘ and awaited feed back from the Investigators.
He says the feedback necessary for the preparation of a report, was not forth coming from detectives.
Andre Bryan’s attorney Lloyd McFarlane says the Prosecution failed to show that at all material times the devices used to produce and analyze the audio data were properly functional.
