  Speaker 1: And once again, prosecution is asking questions. Question, Agent Hull,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: you testified that there were four visits to campus that day. Answer, correct, yes. Question,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and the first three visits, based on what you have observed,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's your opinion that those videos were captured by UVU
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: surveillance video, is that correct? Answer, that is correct, yes. Question,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the fourth visit, well, the fourth visit to was captured
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: by UVU surveillance video, is that correct? Answer, correct. Question,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: was there any other video that was collected, either on
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the 10th or on the 11th, that you believe might
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: be important or relevant to today's hearing? Answer, there was
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a large amount of video. Gets cut off. I'm going
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit more specific. Other than UVU
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: surveillance video, was there any other video that was collected
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and subsequently gathered an 1102 statement for? Answer, yeah. We
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: collected ring doorbell footage from the surrounding neighborhoods. Question, okay.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. Did that include video from
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: residences located at 860 West, 925 South Orem? Answer, yeah.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: That's the horseshoe area, yeah. Question, okay. That's in Orem. Answer, correct.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Question and close to campus. Answer, yes it is. Question, okay.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And what can you tell us about that video? Answer,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it has a ring doorbell video that was provided that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: showed a vehicle consistent with the one we had identified
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: as belonging to Mr. Robinson parking in front of the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: residence across the street. Question, okay. And what can you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: tell us about the timing of that parked vehicle? Answer,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: if I recall, that vehicle parked approximately 038 hours on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the morning of the 11th. Question, okay, so 038 hours,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: what time is that to regular people? Answer, just after midnight. Question,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: at 1238? Answer, in the morning, yes. Question, okay, so
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: how did this video come to your attention? That you're
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: talking about this doorbell or whatever? Question, the footage was
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: obtained as part of the canvas of the area that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was conducted as part of the investigation. Question, were you
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: able to identify the owners of that residence? Answer, yes. Question,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Where that video was collected from? Answer, correct. Question, okay.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And do you know who it was collected from and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: by whom? Answer, it was Mr. and Mrs. Noble. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: believe Agent Davis collected the video directly from them. Question, okay.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And do you know what date it was collected? Answer,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: if I can refresh my notes. Answer, if referring to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: your notes will refresh your memory, go ahead and take
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a look at that, but don't read it out loud. Question,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: or answer, excuse me. I don't have the specific date.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But I do know that myself and Agent Davis returned
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to the address as we had done in the previous
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: videos and had the owners of the video verify that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it was from their system. And we did have them
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: complete an 1102 statement, which would be dated. Question, okay,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: so let's talk about this. What does that video look like? Answer,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it's a nighttime view looking from the front porch of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the residence across the street. Question, okay, and what about
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the video? Why was this particular video significant to you?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Why do you think that that was related to the case? Answer,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we know from the UVU footage that the person, we
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: believe to be Mr. Robinson, had interaction with law enforcement.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And a short period after that, the vehicle comes to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that house. And some additional evidence that was collected from
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the cell phone data and things indicated that Mr. Robinson
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was in the area. And we were able to locate
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the footage of his vehicle on that ring doorbell camera. Question,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: or at least, what you believe is this vehicle? Answer, yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the vehicle that we believe to belong to Mr. Robinson. Question,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and is there something about that vehicle or that particular
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: video in this, I guess a vehicle, that was captured
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that leads you to believe that it was Mr. Robinson's vehicle? Answer, yeah,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the vehicle has very distinct wheels. I won't say they're
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: wholly unique, but in terms of the video footage that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: we're reviewing, the wheels on the vehicle are fairly unique
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and stand out on the video footage. Question, Okay, so again,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this video that you received early on in the investigation? Answer, yes. Question, okay.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And then in preparation for the prelim hearing, you went
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: back out and you met with someone about this video? Answer, correct. Question,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: who specifically did you meet with about the video? Answer,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I met with Ms. Noble. Question, and what did you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: do with Ms. Noble? Answer, we did what we'd done before.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We had specific files that we wanted, or files that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we wanted her to verify. The footage itself is broken into,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I believe, 10 second segments. So we had specific files
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that we had her view, and confirmed that they were
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: actually from her system. Those were written on the 1102,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: as they had been before. Question, and who wrote those
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: file names on this particular statement? Answer, I believe it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: would be my handwriting on the 1102. Question, alright, what
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: did you do next? Answer, we had her view the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: videos and then complete a statement verifying the authenticity of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: those videos on the 1102. Question, okay, was this also
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: prepared on a State Bureau form? Answer, I believe this
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was on a State Bureau investigation form, yeah. Question, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: in this particular form on which Ms. Noble provided her statement,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: does it have the advisory that it would be used
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in lieu of her testimony here today? Answer, it does, yes. Question,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: does it also contain a warning that if she gave
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a false statement, it's punishable by a Class A misdemeanor? Answer, correct. Question, okay.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have displayed on your monitor what's been
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: marked states exhibit number 13 for identification. Let me know
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: when you see that, would you? Answer, I can see that. Question, okay.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to have my assistant scroll through that slowly. Okay,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: do you recognize that? Answer, I do, yes. Question, what
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is it? Answer, correct. The 1102 that myself and Agent
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Davis collected from Ms. Noble. Question, and does it appear
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to be in the same condition as when you collected it? Answer,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it does, yes. Question, this is a copy, right? Answer, yes. Question, okay.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And the personal identifying information appears to be redacted. Is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that right? Answer, it has been redacted, yes. Question, okay.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It wasn't redacted when you collected it, right? Answer, no.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: The original form was not redacted. question so other than
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the redactions it appears to be in the same condition
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: as it was when you collected it answer that is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: correct question the state would move to admit exhibit 13
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: judge graph miss nester now kathy nester objects once again
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: your honor we renew our concern about unconstitutional hearsay being
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: admitted we have the same concern about the fact that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: agent hull amended this himself and there's no foundation as
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to when he filled that in if it was before
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: or after she signed it And due to all those reasons,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: we object to its admission and object to its publication
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: as well. Judge Graff, prosecution. Now the prosecution, they're a butt. Judge, again,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it was collected in compliance with Rule 1102 of the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Utah Rules of Evidence, specifically subsection B8. It's in writing.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It's on a form. It includes both the advisory and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the warning, and it was collected by Agent Hull. It's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: also collected in compliance and being introduced as reliable hearsay,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: which is lawful to do here in Utah under the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: state constitution. Article 1, Section 12. Judge Graff, do you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: wish to lay more foundation about when the statement was written,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: whether it was before it was signed or not? Answer,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I can do that, Judge. I appreciate that. Yes, Agent Hall,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: do you recall when you collected this written statement from Ms. Noble? Answer, yeah,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it was in April. Question, in April, do you know
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: what day? Answer, April 6th, I believe. Question, okay, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you collected it. Did you go to her home? I think,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is that what you said? Answer, yeah, myself and Agent
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Davis went to the residence. Question, okay, and did you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: sit there while she prepared it? Answer, I did, yes. Question,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and did you witness her sign it? I did, yes. Question, okay,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: at this point, I'd move to admit Exhibit 13. Judge Graff,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: all right, and to the state representative, could you scroll down? Okay,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: all right. Pursuant to the Utah Rule of Evidence 1102
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and Article 1, Section 28, I'm sorry, Article 1, Section 12,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: which allows for a reliable hearsay, I'm going to move
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it into, it's going to be admitted, into evidence over
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the objection of the defense. I note in particular that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it states that I confirm that the above files were
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: taken from our Nest Doorbell videos and are accurate. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: right before that statement is the notation that were allegedly
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: made by Agent Holt. and so for the reasons the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: court finds proper foundation has been laid, and that this
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: exhibit in its entirety is admitted into evidence. As it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: relates to publication, I will authorize publication in the courtroom
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and by the media if they so wish to capture
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it in that form. Again, following the same format, I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: have it on the first portion of the screen for
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: about 10 seconds, and then scroll down to the written
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: portion for about 15, and then scroll to the very
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: bottom to ensure that the full exhibit has been displayed.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: All right, that concludes the publication of State Exhibit 13. Question,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: thank you, Judge. The video that you took with you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that day when you visited with Ms. Noble, or Ms. Noble,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: had you previously, well, you've stated that the videos that
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you showed the Nobles were actually more than one video. Answer, correct. Question, okay,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and I believe you said they were like 10-second clips. Answer,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: if I recall correctly, yes. Question, short clips, and you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: showed Ms. Noble all those videos that I in that statement? Answer,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the one shown on the statement was shown to Ms. Noble, yes. Question,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: have you had the chance to review what's been marked
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: state exhibit number 12.2? Answer, yes. Question, and when did
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you have a chance to review that exhibit? Answer, I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: believe that was reviewed last week, I believe, with yourself. Question,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and does that video, is it a single video that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you watched? Answer, no, I believe it's four separate short videos. Question,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and I understand that, but as far as the 12.2
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is concerned, what does that exhibit consist of? Answer, it
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: shows the vehicle believed to be driven by Mr. Robinson
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: arriving in front of the residence, an individual exiting the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: vehicle and moving away from it, followed by an individual
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: returning to the vehicle and unlocking it. And then it
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: shows the vehicle, a short time later, starting... and leaving
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the area. Question. And those are videos that you showed, Ms. Noble? Answer. Yes.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Question 12. What I have displayed on your monitor? What's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: been marked states exhibit 12.2 for identification. Let me know
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: as soon as you see. Should still be an image. Answer.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: It's there. Question. Do you recognize what's depicted there? Answer. Yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: This is the view looking what would essentially be west
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: across the street from the Noble's residence. Question, okay, at 12.38 a.m.,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I guess. Answer, yes. Question, okay, and what's depicted in this?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I think you've already described that. So, Judge, I would
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: move to admit Exhibit 12.2. Judge Graff, Ms. Nestor. Now
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: she has another objection, Your Honor. We renew our objection
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to allowing the evidence without the sponsoring witness. I do
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: have some concerns because I'm not totally sure if this
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is a compilation or this is just one of the two, three, four, five,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: six videos they took from the nobles. So if we
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: could just have that clarification, I think that's what concerns
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: me about the authenticity that I don't understand if this
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: is just a portion or if this is the whole
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: thing or if this is all of them or none
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of them. And for those reasons, we object to the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: admission and to the publication. Prosecution, Judge Graff asks. Now
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: they answer. That's a good point. And I'll ask additional
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: questions before I re-seek to admit it. Agent Hall, this
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: particular video you described taking several videos to Ms. Noble
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and having her review them? Answer, yes. Question, okay, this
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: particular exhibit, 12.2, have you watched it in its entirety? Answer, yes. Question,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: does it consist of either some or all of those
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: videos that you showed Ms. Noble? Answer, it does, yes. Question, okay.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And is it a single video? Is it a compilation,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that is to say? Or is it four different videos?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Or a number of different videos? Answer, it'll be a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: number of short videos sequenced. Question, okay, a number of
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: short videos in sequence? Answer, I believe that's how this
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: one plays, yes. Prosecution, okay, judge again, I seek to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: admit it. Judge Graff, anything further from the parties? No
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: objection this time. So Judge Graff continues. All right, given
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: my previous rulings on exhibits, I apply the same analysis
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and find that state exhibit 12.2, I believe, is admitted
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: over the objection and may be published in the courtroom
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and by the media, if so chosen. All right, folks,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: we're going to wrap up right here. And in the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: next episode, we're going to pick up with prosecution asking, OK,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: so before we play the video. All the information that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
