He described what he had seen, the physical contact, the escort, the control panel access, the form writing, and he was careful to distinguish what he had directly observed from what he had concluded. At no point did he characterize Ethan's intent. He described Ethan's actions and their sequence. The panel asked him, "Why did you begin taking notes? He said, "Because the interaction stopped resembling a routine credential check. " The panel asked, "When did you know who she was? " He said, "I didn't know until after the supervisor arrived and I heard the word judge used. " Everything I recorded, I recorded before I knew.
The panel asked, "Why did you send the email to yourself? " He said, "Because I've been an attorney long enough to know that contemporaneous records matter, and I wasn't certain anyone else was making one. " Daniel Foster presented the technical findings. He was methodical. He went through the server logs, the door sensor data, the secondary system audio, the radio archive gap, and the manual archive access event. He described each data source and its limitations. He described what each source showed and what it could not conclusively show.
He described the sequence of events that the combination of evidence produced when assembled chronologically. He was asked, "Is it possible the radio archive gap was accidental? " He said, "The metadata is inconsistent with an accidental gap. " I cannot certify from the data alone that the gap was deliberate. I can certify that it is inconsistent with every non-deliberate scenario I have been able to model. He was asked, "What does the door sensor data tell you about the claim that the subject attempted to push past security personnel? " He said there is no sensor event at the door during the detention period that is consistent with that description. The door registered no pressure contact during that window.
Patricia Morgan testified. She was calm in the way of someone who had already had the harder conversation with herself and was now simply reporting what had happened. She said she had recognized Camille Johnson immediately. She said she had known Ethan was handling the situation incorrectly. She said she had not intervened because she was concerned about her employment situation and her pension.
She said she was testifying now because she believed the record should reflect what she had actually seen, not the diminished version she had offered the first time. The panel asked, "Did you see the officer make physical contact with the subject in the lobby? " She said, "Yes. " He took her arm and held it after she asked him to let go. The panel asked, "Is that consistent with standard escort procedure? " She said, "No. " Richard Harrison testified last. He was measured and chose his words with the care of someone who had spent a career choosing words carefully. He described his decision to meet with Rachel Bennett before the review was complete.
He described his reasoning, institutional stability, proportional response, the complexity of managing a situation with significant external attention. He was asked whether the meeting had been intended to influence the scope of the review. He was quiet for a moment. I believed I was protecting the institution, he said. I understand now that what I was doing was protecting the institution from accountability rather than protecting it through accountability.
Those are different things. He was asked whether he had known about the manual override when he contacted Rachel. He said he had known about the possibility of recording interference. He said he had not known the technical specifics at that point. He was asked whether that information had been a factor in his desire to manage the review internally.
Another pause longer. Yes, he said in part. Camille Johnson testified in the afternoon. She sat at the table and went through the events in the order they had occurred. She used the same account she had given on the first day, the same language, the same sequence, the same precision about what she had directly observed and what she had not.
