Let me know if you have any more troubles with it. WEHooper,

I’ve fixed the link (my bad!!!) and it should download as a zip file for you now.

Let me know if you have any more troubles with it.

File downloaded not as a .zip, but as amero-text.pdf. It would not open with WinZip and would not open as a PDF. It would be nice to have a searchable text version of the transcript. Thanks!

That said, I can tell you from a recent case of mine how hard it can be to get concepts we think are simple across to the uninitiated. I had a recent judge-only trial where, through a witness, I had to ensure that the Court understood the basics of Yahoo chat and webcam transmission. The judge got it -- but the other three lawyers in the case were utterly lost. These are lawyers I've known for 20 years or more. They are intelligent, educated counsel. However, one has never been online and dictates his letters, while the other two barely understand E-mail. Keeping that in mind, I think it is not too hard to see how a jury, particularly one deprived of expert opinion via suppression, could misunderstand the concepts (legal *and* technical) involved in the case. It seems that there are some good appellate arguments here. Let's hope that's the case.

The reason I moderate my comments is because a right-wing nutcase and Sailer supporter kept inundating the site with frivolous comments amounting to spam, which included spam itself like discount drungs and low home mortgage rates.
