Bridget Prince

Bridget Prince, an investigator retained by the defense, identified a text file named market rewrite on Ulbricht's laptop during her Day 11 testimony. The court admitted it as Defendant's Exhibit M without objection, and defense counsel read part of its software-task list. Prince also reported finding approximately six emails from Ulbricht's Google account for June 24–28, 2013.

Before she testified, the prosecution challenged a proposed timeline and summary presentation as resembling closing argument and questioned its firsthand basis. The court distinguished Prince's personal observations from speculation or a synthesis of other witnesses' accounts. The defense withdrew the timeline. The court allowed Prince to describe documents and date ranges she personally observed in the Google production, but not to interpret the records or draw conclusions from their presence or absence.

Defense counsel kept readings from the complaint separate from Prince's testimony. The prosecution declined cross-examination, and she was excused. In closing, defense counsel used Exhibit M to argue that DPR could keep a computerized task list and that handwritten notes found at Ulbricht's residence were more likely notes taken during a telephone call. That interpretation was counsel's argument, not Prince's testimony.
