To quote the article.

"The defence counsel asked Stunt if it was possible to cut some text from one log file and paste it into another log file from a remote computer. Stunt dismissed the idea: "Remotely, the answer would be no. It is impossible, the technology does not exist," he said."

The Detective is wrong in his assesment of of being able to cut and paste via remote desktop through Windows XP's Remote Desktop Connection.

This is from experience I run 3 game servers and I have to constantly look at and edit the log files. I 'm capable of cutting and pasting information from my personal computer to my servers via Remote Desktop. This process is not very complicated and is easy enough for a child to do it.
