The examiner was asked about the defense's request for an examiner on its behalf to examine the computer of the vehicle involved and he testified:
"... This whole saga began when the defense attorney said that files can be extracted. As far as I know from the last time I spoke to Zanati, according to what he knows, files cannot be removed. I don't know, but I assume that the entire decision-making process was of the File Division and we see that it qualifies itself and says, "If files are downloaded, and also in the message of Attorney Kfir Dor, everything here is qualified." As far as I know, it is not possible to download files from this computer. If there are questions about whether or not files can be downloaded, or about an original or a copy, it can be referred to examiners who deal with CDR.
To Beyham's question"Q, can the examiners check the computer and not impose it on the defense?
The witness replies: The last time I spoke to a CDR examiner, he said that you can't testI don't know, that's what they're telling me." (See his testimony of February 6,2025, p. 80
3-12).
The examiner is confronted with the fact, that the defense has no documentation of who dismantled the computer of the defendant's car, the dismantling caused damage to the computer and therefore they were unable to unload data from the computer, thus harming the defendant's defense, and he testified:
"Together with Tal Bracha we dismantled this computer, it's true that I didn't document it by photograph or video, I found a memo in the file that states that I disassembled the computer, this memo was submitted to the court as an appendix to a search warrant, that we dismantle a CDR computer, it's always the examiner handling the case together with an examiner who is a CDR expert, we disassemble the computer together, the CDR expert usually shows the examiner where the computer is, what the computer looks like, because we don't know what it looks like. Dismantling is simple. It's usually 3-4 screws and disconnecting the electrical and data junction.
As soon as we dismantle , the treating examiner grabs the computer as displayed and it is with him until the CDR examiner disassembles the computer.
Second thing, it is not clear to me how damage to the computer can be caused by the disconnection of two connectors and four screws in the car without electricity." (See his testimony of February 6,2025, p. 80, paras. 19-28).
