About
Shelby Derrick, a Lexington County Sheriff's Department crime-scene investigator, testified on Day 15 about handling a sealed Samsung Galaxy Note 3 after receiving it from FBI agent Cynthia Bobe. She said she did not open the package and returned it to Lexington County for evidence logging and transfer to custodian Candy Kyzer.
On cross-examination, defense counsel used photographs Derrick took during the September 9 search of the South Lake Drive residence. Derrick identified images of medication items and Chantix-labeled blister packs, and later described photographs of books, electrical sockets, and the circuit breaker box. She said she had not personally tested the outlets she photographed.
Derrick returned on Day 27 to authenticate two video clips extracted from Amber Jones Kyzer's phone and to explain associated file-date information. The court admitted State's Exhibits 188 and 189 without objection and published both clips.
