About
Heidi Galore testified as Snap's law-enforcement operations representative, authenticating subscriber information and the company's full response to a SLED search warrant. The subscriber sheet identified an active account with the username Paul9499 and display name Paul Murdaugh, and Galore explained that telephone verification was optional and an email address was not required.
Galore identified a short video in the production and testified that Snapchat recorded it in Memories on June 7, 2021, at 7:39 p.m. Eastern and marked it as sent at 7:56 p.m. Eastern. The video was played for the jury.
On cross-examination, Galore initially said the production did not establish the video's exact recording time because metadata had not been requested or produced. After reviewing displayed file information, she agreed that it showed 7:38 p.m. and appeared to place the recording about one minute before upload. She also confirmed that friends-list and geolocation data had not been requested, and she was unsure whether Snapchat's records could establish if location sharing was enabled.
