Overview
- Detective Constable Matthews testified that computer evidence shows the broadcast was recorded earlier and later streamed to appear live.
- Forensic timelines indicate recording activity on December 14, completion in the early hours of December 15, a social media advert between December 14–17, streaming on December 18–19, and deletion in the early hours of December 19.
- Software logs showed no user activity on the device from about 6pm on December 18 until just after midnight on December 19, when the file was later removed from the recycle bin.
- Jurors previously viewed over an hour of the purported livestream featuring McCullagh gaming, drinking and referring to being live on his Votesaxon07 YouTube channel.
- The prosecution alleges he used the staged broadcast as cover to travel to Lurgan, kill Natalie McNally, then return the next night when he made a 999 call, while McCullagh denies the murder.
