Mechanical Stabilizer / Elevator failure is actually quite complex.

However... In an unrelated note there was a change to the training standards...

Public docket indicates court proceedings. Is the CVR part of a trial, and if so, what kind of trial?

The NTSB will fill in the blanks soon enough.

It's possible (likely) the NTSB doesn't know what happened, or maybe not why it happened yet.
They have ruled out explosives, since the FBI went home. That's easy, since that sort of explosion would leave incontrovertible evidence which could not be confused with anything else.

my take.
not sure if this was said but blocked pitot tube(s) (could be birds, etc) would cause airspeed to decrease when level which could lead to power going to max, that could cause that 4 deg pitching up ie climb, if they countered it by pitching down (descending) it would cause the indicated airspeed to start decreasing, the more they descended the more it decreased causing the power to stay at max even though the true airspeed/ground speed was increasing. Also no stall was indicated but I believe that this is pure AOA not indicated airspeed. if this happened on the both sides or the flying pilot side together with a lack of situational awareness/interpretation might explain this and the statement about “Crew communications consistent with a loss control of the aircraft began approximately 18 seconds prior to the end of the recording.”
