Government Exhibit 524
Christopher Mills identified Government Exhibit 524 as the card found inside the camera marked Government Exhibit 520, and the court received both exhibits in evidence on Day 20. Brian Booth prepared a report concerning the card's metadata and testified that the card arrived in an unsealed cellophane bag in the box with the camera. On Day 23, Booth agreed that access dates for specified JPEG files appeared to have changed after collection, but he could not identify who accessed the card on September 19, 2018.

About
Defense counsel used the card's access dates to question data preservation and identify gaps in Booth's knowledge of who accessed it. Booth's qualified acknowledgment concerned file-system access dates, not an established alteration of image content or EXIF capture dates.
