Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript dated August 10, 2022, showing the cross-examination of a witness named Flatley. The testimony focuses on clarifying the meaning of the 'author' metadata in a Microsoft Word file. Flatley explains that the author name (e.g., 'gmax') is a user-defined field linked to the account that set up the software (e.g., 'Ghislaine') and does not definitively prove who was physically using the computer to create a specific document.
