Mystery person taking the phone from the evidence room, along with it’s being shipped all over the place via Fed Ex is a bunch of crap. Why didn’t they simply send it to the FBI and have them crack it? Too many hands handling the thing. The chain of custody on this evidence leaves a lot to be desired.

I believe the intent with the time delays , and the breaking of the ‘chain of custody’, and so many hands involved in transport was intentional. Since Travon’s father had purchased the phone, there is every expectation that he had the code to unlock the data ; in which case, since he withheld information , he should be charged with obstruction.
This legal prosecution has turned from a legal issue into political kabuki theatre .
As such , expect Holder and his limitless financing to overwhelm defense and step into the fray.
The reason why it wasnt sent to the Fed’s (FBI) is so that there is no blatent ‘conflict of interest’ in a future Federal prosecution.
