Anna Norris, the State's second-chair prosecutor, developed much of the digital, cell-site, travel, employment, and financial record through direct and redirect examinations. Her questioning connected those records into a chronology while acknowledging analytical limits, and she later challenged the defense digital expert's message count and location analysis.

About
Anna Norris conducted direct and redirect examinations that established several of the State's technical foundations. On Day 1, she questioned Michael Dillmore and Marcia Rodriguez about iCloud and Cellebrite acquisition, contact lists, and the handling of extracted data. The court overruled a hearsay objection during Dillmore's examination; during Rodriguez's examination, it excluded the full report but admitted selected contact, call-log, and voicemail extracts. On Day 2, her examination of T-Mobile custodian Ronald Witt authenticated tower-dump records that the court admitted without objection.
Beginning on Day 3 and continuing through Day 7, Norris repeatedly examined Christopher Corbitt about phone records, cell-site analysis, rental and GPS data, and wiretap procedures. Her questions developed a chronology of handset locations and communications while also eliciting limits on cell-site precision and the available records. On redirect, she addressed attempted calls from Magbanua's handset to the number Rivera identified as his and Corbitt's finding that the reviewed records did not show direct communication between Charlie Adelson and Garcia. Norris argued that the attempted-call evidence was relevant; the court overruled the defense objection. Her wiretap examination separately covered monitoring, training, and minimization procedures.
Norris also developed relationship, workplace, and financial evidence. She questioned Yindra Velazquez Mascaro about Magbanua's relationships, employment history, a reported accident, and a Lexus; Clariza Lebredo and Erika Johnson addressed Adelson Institute staffing, payroll, voicemail practices, and a recorded call after law enforcement requested Magbanua's personnel records. Through Mary Hull, Norris introduced financial summaries concerning vehicle purchases, banking patterns, Adelson Institute payments, reported income, and cash deposits. When disputes arose over related text exhibits, Norris argued their relevance and proposed non-hearsay purposes; the court limited some material, admitted an amended exhibit set, and later admitted a redacted exhibit after addressing its context.
During the defense case, Norris cross-examined digital-forensics expert John Sawicki about whether his count of 3,084 messages included non-text notifications and what phone activity could establish about location. She also cross-examined Corbitt about GPS and phone evidence concerning a rental vehicle and Magbanua's residence after the court overruled a scope objection. Before Magbanua testified, Norris requested that Corbitt be exempted from sequestration as an essential State witness; the court denied the request. On Day 9, Norris recalled Corbitt to authenticate four iCloud text exhibits and develop the connection between a Magbanua text and Garcia's first call to an auto-shop number, then used redirect to address whether Magbanua supplied Garcia with that number.
