and a good number of freepers didn’t care about the difference?

I would say most of them since it was a forbidden subject.

isn’t it possible to check cell phone records to see who else the cell towers were pinging in the same location at the same time? A guy in our area was charged with murder and cell tower records verified he was in the area of the murder when he claimed he was 100 miles away. He is serving life.

but Smollett told police he couldn’t be without his phone for several hours.

Hey, he has to be able to respond to hits on his Grindr profile quickly or else he may miss a good hookup opportunity.

No, the police need phone records from the phone company, not from his manager.

Unless there’s some incredibly new technology out there, the phone companies do not have a recording of anyone’s call. I don’t even know where to begin with that, Invasion of Privacy lawsuit. They do however, have the ability to document who called who, who texted who, and the location those communications were made from. In some cases, they can try to recover a text message. But, with all the data being transmitted thru cyberspace, it’s a matter of them not having enough storage and the attempt to recover that information from cyberspace has to be made within a day or so. Otherwise, you’re pulling that info off the person’s phone. Or at least that is what they tell you.

What the NSA does or has is a different story, as they’re pulling that info out of the air, literally.

I’ve written search warrants for that stuff. You get the date and time stamp of all comm’s, both ingoing and outgoing. And depending on how much information you want, it can take a while. With all the noise surrounding this case, it could have been closed within a few days, if that. CPD is big enough that they could call whatever carrier the guy uses and subpoena the records and get them in a timely manner. Especially if the time frame is narrowed down to only a few hours. Those records would include where he was when the calls were made and where his manager was at the time. If they get the phone and are allowed to go thru it, they can determine if stuff has been erased/deleted. However, unless he used, Bleachbit or something like it, all that data is still on the phone, because Bleachbit wipes the whole thing. Then CPD gets a search warrant to go through his phone. If he doesn’t provide the code, he can be held for obstruction.

Either way, CPD has turned this into a circus when it didn’t have to be. Clearly the detectives working the case are getting orders from above to do their level best to come up with something, even though they all know this is BS.

I bet they were hand-written.

From what I have read, he edited his phone ‘records’ before handing them over. I suspect the cops can retrieve the rest of the phone ‘records’ in due time.

Unless the phone calls were recorded or included texts, the only information they will provide is the time calls were made and when they ended.

The CPD is trying to establish a timeline and see if it's consistent with what Jussie has told them.

Even so, the timeline will likely prove nothing either way.

Yes, the phone records show Jussie did call his manager at 2AM and they talked for 5 minutes.

That doesn't prove or disprove there was an attack.

The CPD are dragging this out because their only hope at this point is the longer this goes on the greater the likelihood Jussie will trip up.

That he called for a GRNDR date about an hour before the attack?
Jussie likes it rough...real rough.

I’m guessing that this guy could be charged with filing a false police report and also possibly charged with destruction of evidence.

But he is in a very protected class, so he’s probably safe no matter what.

He will never be prosecuted for this lie. He has two protective get out of jail cards.

Compulsory jail time for hoaxes.

Well lets hope they’re not. Do you really want recordings of your phone calls available to whatever Police Department wants them?

The records are more accurate than the phone. You can delete stuff from a phone, and you can’t “add” a phone call that didn’t exist after the fact. Unless he penciled a phone call onto the “records”, you really can’t change phone records.

He’s an actor. That is his job, to pay roles. (As a script writer he is poor in my guestimation). He is not a rocket scientist nor brain surgeon.... so he can erase records a he wants.

His phone carrier will have the whole string of times and locations, texts as well.

Makes me think of Hillary Clinton erasing her phones with hammers.....
hard drives are different.

They have enough evidence that this was a fraud. Because he is black in an Obama affirmative action town and state, he will get off with a slap on the wrist if even that.
