About
SLED Lieutenant David Britt Dove testified on Day 15 about the handling and processing of State's Exhibit 91, a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. He described its intake, labeling, vault storage, and logical forensic examination.
Dove explained that the logical examination did not retrieve deleted-item information that a physical examination might provide, and that he could not obtain a physical examination at that time. He also traced the phone's controlled access by defense expert Jake Green, its return to SLED, and its later release to Detective Phipps.
On cross-examination, defense counsel asked about Cellebrite cell-phone extraction software. Dove said Detective Phipps may have had that software and that other software could also be used.
