Jim Bell Trial: Third Day (fwd)

Third Day:  Jim Bell trial

Rabatin (the computer forensics specialist) took the stand again.

He verified that more documents were pulled from Bell's computer:

1) Message to Ray Dillinger, 10/19/2000, "Judges Needed Killing".  Rabatin 
read an excerpt where Bell suggested a "chemical solution" whereby PCBs 
could be used to contaminate vehicles seized by government agencies, turning 
them from $10,000 assets into $100,000 liabilities.
2) The now oft-cited "Say Goodnight to Joshua" message of 10/24/2000.
3) Message to Jim East (friend of Bell's who testified on Wednesday) on 
10/24/2000, regarding Bell's investigation of addresses of a Jeffrey Gordon 
in Eagle Creek, OR, and Mike McNall.  An excerpt read by Rabatin:  "The 
new renter acted like he knew Mike McNall."
4) Message on 10/25/2000 to John Branton at the Vancouver Columbian, Re: 
Harry Browne in Portland.  Bell writes that he talked to Gordon and McNall. 
 Bell states that Lund got 10 years off sentence in exchange for assistance 
in intimidating Bell into signing the original guilty plea agreement.
5) Message to cypherpunks, 10/25, "CIA in Oregon."
6) Message on 10/26 to Branton, regarding Bell's search through the Oregon 
DMV database for a possible CIA operative.
7) Message to Bob Johnson on 10/26, with a reference to outing feds.
8) Message to cypherpunks, 10/27, regarding the CIA and Intellink in Oregon.
9) Another message to cypherpunks on the same date, same subject
10)   Message to Branton, 10/28, regarding "outing" of "CIA agent" Mueller 
in Bend.
11)   Message (to Branton?), saying that the Mueller in Bend did not have 
the same birthday as previously thought.
12)   Message to cypherpunks, 10/30, Re: Parties, urging people to make 
various public databases easily available.
13)   Message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], with cc: 
to Declan McCullagh, John Branton, and John Painter.  Bell states that he's 
still interested in uncovering the truth concerning McNall and Lund.  He 
asks the recipients to call the ATF office where he believes that McNall 
works.  As part of the deal that Bell believes that Lund got for cooperation,
 Bell notes that Lund got 27 months instead of 10-12 years for possession 
of an illegal firearm and methamphetamines.
14)   Message to John Young, 11/2, describing his upcoming trip to Bend 
to check out the address of Mueller.
15)   Message to Blanc Weber, 11/3, similar to the previous message to John 
Young.
16)   Message to cypherpunks, 11/4, Re: CIA in Oregon and Intellink" describing 
the Mueller home in Bend, Oregon, and listing license plate numbers on cars 
he found there.

During the above testimony, the prosecution displayed the email messages 
on a monitor that was located about 20 feet from the jury box.  The jurors 
leaned over, squinting to see the messages. Although there had been two 
days of testimony where images had been displayed on this monitor, it wasn't 
until the third day that the judge asked if the jurors had difficulty seeing 
the messages.  Almost all raised their hands.  The judge then encourage 
the jurors to stand up and move around to get a better look at the monitor,
 which they did for a couple of exhibits.  After that, none of the jurors 
made significant physical effort to examine the exhibits.

London asked Rabatin: "How do you know authorship [of these emails]?"  Rabatin 
responded that the email programs are set up for multiple users.  However,
 he generally only looked at emails that were obviously either authored 
by or sent to Jim Bell. Rabatin noted that other family members used email 
on the same computer that Jim did, and that Rabatin had only made a cursory 
review of their accounts.

In cross-examination, Rabatin stated that he had only found email on one 
computer, although three computers were seized in the November 6 raid.  
(Obviously, the two computers that were seized but obviously not used by 
Bell were sitting in the courtroom and had not yet been returned to the 
family.)  In addition, Rabatin had failed to check the date and time on 
Bell's computer, but believed them to be generally accurate.

The prosecution next called Barbara Gordon, wife of a Jeffrey Gordon.  She 
pointed out her husband in the courtroom, a youngish, bearded working-class 
casually dressed man.  She verified that the information that Bell had gathered 
from public databases referred to her and her husband.

She testified that she had never received the October explanation of benefits 
from her insurance carrier, and stated that she and her husband were so 
busy that at times they did not pick up their mail for a couple of days 
at a time from the mailbox at the curb.

In cross-examination, Leen asked her where she had heard of Jim Bell.  She 
was unaware of Bell until Jeff Gordon had approached her.  Asked if she 
knew of any thefts or trespass, she said that she did not.

The next witness was Robert Dutra, Detention Enforcement Officer with the 
U.S. Marshall's Service.

Dear Friend,


I thought I'd drop this quick note to let you know about an

EXCELLENT e-Commerce Business which has enjoyed rapid and

consistent growth in the last 3 years.

business.

I did with my other ones that I've tried. I have a personal closure

rate of about 80%. And I attribute that totally to the system that

you have created. It truly is the best company out there. Since

joining in August of this year, I have been approached by 3

distributors of other companies, including 1 co-founder, but

after explaining what I do in my business and how I work the

opportunity, I guess they've given up knowing that their program

is much harder to achieve success in."
