There is an important difference in this case from other cases like this. The police argue that they already know what's on the hard drive:
>Forensic examination also disclosed that Doe [Rawls] had downloaded thousands of files known by their "hash" values to be child pornography. The files, however, were not on the Mac Pro, but instead had been stored on the encrypted external hard drives.
Combine this with the witness statement (defendant's sister said he showed her CP) and this becomes a little bit more unique than just not procuring a password.

- carlisle_ 9y agoI'm not a lawyer and I don't know much about contempt works. Indefinite detention sounds bad but I don't know how else it would be handled or if this is actually that unusual of a case besides the cryptographic aspect. I am all for due process and fair treatment but this is also a bit of a tangent from the original topic.
