Judge: And I know any seven year old can learn the passwords and get into that because they do it all the time.
West: The FDLE had his phone for a year and they couldn’t do it.
[It’s time to fire the staff at FDLE and hire some 7 year olds]
On a related note, It would be good to know what the programs were that supposedly 'encrypted' this text, so we'll know what to avoid. Unless the data was 'cracked' because of stupid passwords.
Who set up this secret phone stuff? Apps within apps, double passwords?
Was it Travon?
One of the stupidest comments from the Judge was that any 7 year old could pick up the phone and make texts...after she knew that State couldnt get into and had to have someone wrote code to break into it.
It was a third party app specifically for testing that requires it's own (a second) password. Clearly TM wanted to hide certain communications.
the judge’s statement that any 7 year old could get past a double password, was ignorant at best.
As for authentication, they arent going to get cooperation from TM’s friends, but you’d think they could ID some of the texts as at times TM was using that phone.
Most glaring thing is he was on that phone all day and night of his final fight.
