she was a help. at least made me smile and think of some new things to research. that helps to keep my mind off of it a little.
did come up with a new question on the emails though. we have decided to go with a reconsideration of the judgement. this would get the new email info into evidence. so if (god forbid) we were to lose again, then it would get the new evidence into the appeals hearing.
when the emails were introduced as evidence, my lawyer didn't object to them. from what i have read - he should have, on the grounds of "hearsay" evidence. that the emails should have been authenticated. they were not.
to authenticate them - printed - it must contain the IP address information from the time it was sent til the time it arrived. it will detail any computer it was in contact with inbetween. this is all done in the headers portion of the email. there are 7 items in the headers, out of those 7 - 5 can be tampered with or forged. 6 if you are a talented hacker/spammer.
the new quetsions are this
(1) can we object to authenticity of the emails now?
he stated they were from me, i denied it. the one email from my valid account - had been tampered with. i have the original printed out.
(2) can we make them authenticate the old email evidence?
if it isn't authenticated - is it valid?
(3) if it isn't valid - can it be stricken from the record?
told you - i have tons of questions. my lawyer is in court today. so no help there.
