Jurors see computer evidence showing search term 'father hates ...

Evidence of?Kaliq Mansor?s Internet history?came before jurors Thursday in the 34-year-old Metzger dad?s?Washington County Circuit Court?murder trial.?

Mansor called 9-1-1 on the afternoon of June 12 last year, reporting that his son, 11-week-old Bryan, wasn?t breathing. Mansor told sheriff?s deputies he went online for advice when the baby struggled to breathe. About 15 minutes passed, he said, before he called 9-1-1.?

Bryan died the following day of abusive head trauma, doctors determined. Mansor is charged with Bryan?s death and the abuse of Bryan?s twin brother, Ethan.?

Detectives served a search warrant at the residence on Sutton Place and seized Mansor?s computers to verify his statement.?

Computer forensics analyst Justin Lazenby testified at trial Thursday about evidence found on the computers.?

Lazenby testified that Internet search terms on the computer included ?11 week old baby pulse no breathing,? ?abuse newborn symptoms,? ?how do I stop abusing my baby? and ?abuser therapy.??

Defense attorney Russell Barnett filed a pre-trial motion to suppress the evidence, arguing that the search of Mansor?s computers was unconstitutional. The motion said the lack of specificity in the search warrant yielded a broad, exploratory search that invaded Mansor?s privacy. Barnett argued police lacked probable cause for delving into so much of Mansor?s personal digital information.?

Judge Don Letourneau denied the motion, and Barnett objected Thursday to Lazenby?s testimony about the contents of Mansor?s Internet history on the basis of relevance.?

The state agreed not to ask Lazenby questions about a game downloaded on the computer called ?Candyvan,? which involves the player abusing children. However, jurors will receive Lazenby?s report, which mentions the game, in evidence.?

According to the report, the game is a ?simple DOS-based program where the protagonist drives around in a van/bus/ice-cream truck, picks up 10 children, and abuses them (physically and/or sexually) while trying to avoid attention and the police.? Certain player actions correspond in the game to words such as, ?You throw the kid to the ground and kick until there?s a pool of blood on the floor.??

Barnett withdrew his objection after prosecutors said they would not question Lazenby about the game.?

Jurors will also see in the report that the computer user accessed information on state child abuse law, ?newborn abuse,? infant injuries, shaken baby syndrome and therapy for abusers, among other related information. The report cites specific searches and web hits, including ?father hates infant? and ?Parents of Newborn Baby Accused of Horrific Abuse.??
