During the trial, FBI special agent Jamie Hipkiss testified that Jose Ibarra's cell phone had been used by his brother Diego and roommate Rosbeli Elisber Flores-Bello. Hipkiss also mentioned that Facebook accounts linked to Diego Ibarra and Flores-Bello had been accessed through Jose Ibarra's phone.
The defense team has been raising concerns about the digital evidence presented in the case, aiming to cast doubt on its reliability. This development suggests that the defense is actively challenging the prosecution's case by scrutinizing the digital footprint associated with the accused individuals.
Following a brief cross-examination, Hipkiss' testimony was concluded after a redirect. The information provided by the FBI special agent sheds light on the interconnectedness of the individuals involved in the case and the potential implications of shared digital access.
