What I read on the search warrant said the the disks had an "X" and an "XO" on them, and the police KNEW that meant PORN. Therefore they got a search warrant.

Yep. That's what Watkins said - that they were in DW's house, Youngflesh found the CDs, and they decided to look at them because of the way they were labelled. Alldredge says this happened sometime prior to 1 am, 2/5 (the time the warrant was issued, per his affidavit), Watkins testified that he wasn't in the house until "after midnight", meaning the 5th.

My best guess is that Watkins lied on the stand about the timeline - that he, Youngflesh and Alldredge were in the house on the evening of the 4th, copying DW's hard drives, and looking at the CDs. Note that he (Watkins) had to be corrected by the Prosecution as to the actual day he was in the house, doing the imaging. He starts off by saying it was the 4th, and then corrects it to the 5th. Why? Wasn't it legal for them to be copying the contents of some guy's computer without a proper warrant?
