That's why the judge didn't let it in. She basically said he didn't do his job.
At least, that was my take on it.

Don't jump the gun... she was expressing
her take of the judge's ruling.
My understanding of the judge's rationale for excluding the evidence was somewhat less persuasive; apparently much of it was disallowed because it did not pertain to materials downloaded/purchased/otherwise obtained in 2006 - the same year the DVDs were purchased by the FBI.
My understanding it that evidentiary requirement was not known to the defense until they arrived at trial.... so they were a little hamstrung there.
I suspect that the human defendants in the case - against whom ALL charges were dropped - were actually pretty happy with the performance of counsel.
