Yes, it's made from hair from a mule's tail. I think it's called jackass brown.

10:40 a.m. ET: Here is a heated exchange between Rionda and White from earlier:



White: I remember a lot of things sir. I remember those things that I believe I need to remember. After 33 years you learn to sort of box off things that need to be remembered and others that you can sort of let go.

Rionda: Unpleasant things you want to put to the side.

White: No, not necessarily.

Rionda: Wouldn’t you agree that assumptions… we shouldn’t rely on them. We should rely on facts.

White: Well you know what assume stands for don’t you? (What?) Make an ass out of you and me so yes I generally agree with that.

10:25 a.m. ET: O'Mara has completed his re-cross examination, and now Rionda is asking White questions. Rionda asked White if he is throwing himself in the case to get attention, because he plans on running against Corey in the future. White said that is absolutely not true.

Typical AC and BLDR mindset, btw… “you aren’t charging enough cases in your county!” “but um, there aren’t really enough situations arising that would MERIT such charges…” “LOL! you think we care about the facts? I don’t think you’ll be in this office very long… FIND A WAY, we want those NUMBERS UP, regardless of what crimes are or are not taking place!”

Hi remote... great you can do blog stuff.... I'll socialise and serve drinks... K?

I think the ladies here may have their "Dr Horn" equivalent?

Ben Kruidbos, pronounced CRY-boss

10:57 a.m. ET: Kruidos said he uses a software that extracted all the information on Martin's phone and creates an easy to read report that shows phone numbers, text messages and photos.

10:54 a.m. ET: Kruidbos is reponcible for the IT systems used by the Florida state attorney's office. He is explaining how he was able extract evidence off of Martin's phone.

10:51 a.m. ET: Judge Nelson has taken the bench, and O'Mara has called Ben Kruidbos to the stand.

10:47 a.m. ET: Martin Family Attorney Ben Crump just released this statement on the use of expert voice analysis testimony at trial:

"It is ridiculous for the Zimmerman defense team to argue that expert voice analysts should not be permitted to testify at the trial when George Zimmerman himself stated the voice crying for help on the 911 recording "doesn't even sound like me." Zimmerman made this statement in his interview with Detective Chris Serino on 02/29/12 just 3 days after the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin. Expert voice analysis is necessary to assist in identifying the voices on the 911 tape."

Hubba Hubba - Kruidbos is definitely in Dr. Horn's "hottness" league! (although I do prefer Dr. Horn's more "rugged" look)


eta - STHU, Crump!

Snap out of it Remote!!!! Those of us who can't watch streams at work need to know what's going on/being said.

Did I forget to say please??? PLEASE!!! PRETTY PLEASE!!!!

11:00 a.m. ET: Kruidbos said the software created a 900 page report about the contents on Martin's phone.

10:59 a.m. ET: O'Mara is asking Kruidbos to explain how phones also GPS information recorded on them.

Did the prosecution delete the GPS data for 2/26/12????

Rumpole to the rescue! That's the picture above.

Ok, I've had my coffee.......calmer now.......

Sounds like the printed report was missing some things......hmmmm......surely BDLR wouldn't NOT include everything!

The computer guy (Wesley White) sitting at the defense table behind O'Mara looks really angry (with the State)!

Report missing images - only 2958/4275 were showing.

Differential between how many text messages? Kruidbos says there were too many to count but DID notice there were text messages deleted!

Pictures of Underaged naked females. Clump of jewelry on quilt......

Wow!

11:19 a.m. ET: Kruidos is explaining how the text messages from the report from Martin's phone was exported to an Ex-cel spreadsheet.

11:16 a.m. ET: The report indicated there photos on Martin's phone of underage naked females, maijuana, and someone holding a gun. Kruidbos also said there was a picture of a clump of jewelry.

11:14 a.m. ET: Kruidbos said when he printed up a 900 page FDLE report from Martin's cell phone in late 2012/early 2013, he noticed info was missing. Concerned attys did not have all the info they needed to prepare the case, he reported to an SAO investigator and later Bernie De La Rionda.

When Kruidbos obtained the origianl source file from the FDLE, he generated a report that was about three times more than the original report.

In earlier conversations with BDLR, Kruidbos testifies that BDLR was trying to make it so he "wouldn't have to testify."
