PENROD

provide the names of the individuals depicted in the video or the location of the scene in the video other than the country of origin, which is India. The segments above depict two persons within a small bedroom. The first is an Indian male in an orange, sleeve-less, pullover shirt. His black hair is long, reaching his upper back. He has a black or dark red dot above his nose and between his eyes. The second person is an Indian female who at times is lying on the bed with the male and aI others moving around the room, attending to him. The male and the female appear to be physically intimate in the segments analyzed. There is a stand to the right of the bed with an orange, metal bottle and light purple radio/CD-player on it. Behind and above the bed there is a shelf with a small square alarm clock. It appears to be 5 minutes ahead of the embedded time stamp on the video. Above and behind the shelf there are yellow curtains. There is a door in the far corner of the room, to the right of the curtains. In the same corner, to the right of the door, there is a floor fan. To the right of the fan there is a media table with flat-screen television on top. One can see the extreme left side of a door to the right of the media table. This door appears to lead into a room.

SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS

The videos at issue are consistent throughout each segment. No evidence exists on any them of tampering, editing, or morphing.

FORENSIC ANALYSIS The Affiant examined all individual digital frames in each segment using forensic video software applications. He enhanced them for clarity and searched for anomalies in the digital data at pixel level. The following are the results of the forensic examination:

a. b.

The Affiant was unable to find any variances in pixel size or color; He did not detect any flickering or pulsating deformations of detail; He did not detect inconsistencies in hue, saturation, value or luminosity; He did not detect distortions of lines and edges, such as blurring in an otherwise sharp zone or hard lines and edges within a blurred one; and He did not detect erratic or uneven speckling and striping.
