Evidence History, the New Trace Evidence, and Rumblings in the Future of Proof Robert P. Mosteller* I. INTRODUCTION This paper is in two parts. The first part is about developments in the rules of evidence and particularly about developments in the Federal Rules of Evidence, which have had a major impact on evidence rules in many states. This part turns out to be largely about the past because my sense is that the impact of changes in the formal rules of evidence, which were substantial, are largely historic. In one area, however, significant future changes in the formal rules seem possible: those that may be made as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision in Crawford v. Washington,1 which dramatically changed confrontation and may unleash hearsay reformulation. The second part deals with my sense that technological and scientific advances may have a dramatic impact in altering the way cases, particularly criminal cases, are proved and evaluated in the future.

  • Proving the Integrity of Digital Evidence with Time Chet Hosmer, President & CEO Wetstone Technologies, Inc
    International Journal of Digital Evidence Spring 2002 Volume 1, Issue 1 Proving the Integrity of Digital Evidence with Time Chet Hosmer, President & CEO WetStone Technologies, Inc. Background During the latter half of the 20th century, a dramatic move from paper to bits occurred. Our use of digital communication methods such as the world-wide-web and e-mail have dramatically increased the amount of information that is routinely stored in only a digital form. On October 1, 2000 the Electronic Signatures in National and Global Commerce Act was enacted, allowing transactions signed electronically to be enforceable in a court of law. (Longley) The dramatic move from paper to bits combined with the ability and necessity to bring digital data to court, however, creates a critical question. How do we prove the integrity of this new form of information known as “digital evidence”? Digital evidence originates from a multitude of sources including seized computer hard-drives and backup media, real-time e-mail messages, chat-room logs, ISP records, web-pages, digital network traffic, local and virtual databases, digital directories, wireless devices, memory cards, and digital cameras. The trust worthiness of this digital data is a critical question that digital forensic examiners must consider. Many vendors provide technology solutions to extract this digital data from these devices and networks. Once the extraction of the digital evidence has been accomplished, protecting the digital integrity becomes of paramount concern for investigators, prosecutors and those accused. The ease with which digital evidence can be altered, destroyed, or manufactured in a convincing way – by even novice computer users – is alarming.

  • An Historical Perspective of Digital Evidence: a Forensic Scientist's View
    International Journal of Digital Evidence Spring 2002 Volume 1, Issue 1 An Historical Perspective of Digital Evidence: A Forensic Scientist’s View Carrie Morgan Whitcomb, Director, National Center for Forensic Science Author’s Comments During my tenure as director of the Postal Inspection Headquarters Laboratory (1988-1992), a Postal Inspector submitted a computer to examine for the presence of specific evidence he had enumerated in the letter of request. The evidence technician logged in the computer, assigned it a case number, and brought the request to me, inquiring “What should we do with this?” That was the beginning of an odyssey that I still pursue. The Inspection Service Laboratory had a Questioned Document Section. Since a computer seemed to be an obvious evolution of paper documents, I called the manager of that section, Drew Somerford, and asked him to take the case. He was reluctant to sign for the evidence. Even though there might have been “documents” on the hard drive, it was outside his expertise. How do you secure and preserve the evidence? How do you collect it without changing it? What are the accepted practices related to computer evidence that would stand the scrutiny of court? What are the examination protocols? It was technology that we did not know how to handle in the crime laboratory. We submitted the computer evidence to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI Laboratory had a unit for computer evidence, and they worked the case. The Postal Inspection Service had a team of inspectors who were trained to work computer crime cases, but the laboratory was not equipped to assist them in processing evidence at that time.

  • The Essentials of Digital Forensics by Sharon Nelson, Esq., John W
    The Essentials of Digital Forensics By Sharon Nelson, Esq., John W. Simek, Michael C. Maschke and Brandon Barnes © 2021 Sensei Enterprises, Inc. The popularity of electronic devices is greater than ever, focusing more attention on the valuable data these devices hold. In legal matters, electronically stored information (ESI) is involved in nearly every matter, requiring ESI to be collected, searched, and interpreted. To ensure proper procedures are followed and the most up-to-date techniques are utilized, a digital forensics expert is often required. The expertise needed to accurately collect, examine, and report on digital evidence requires a skill level above and beyond the capabilities of most end-users or information technology personnel. The term digital forensics originated from the term computer forensics and has been upgraded to include various devices that hold ESI other than computer systems. Digital forensics experts are now preserving and analyzing more mobile devices than computer systems. Some examples of data found on both computers and mobile devices include electronic communications such as email messages, instant messages (IMs), chats and text messages, databases, web-browser history, multimedia such as pictures, audio and video, configuration and activity logs, and third-party application data. Some frequent sources of ESI include: • Mobile phones • USB flash drives and external hard drives • Laptops, desktops, tablets (Surface Pro devices) • Social media accounts • Backups • Cloud storage • Web-based or locally stored Email sources • Email accounts (Microsoft 365) There are many steps involved in digital forensic analysis. Depending on case specifics, an examination can include planning, collection, and preservation of data, evidence processing, analysis, data production, and expert testimony.

  • California State Rules of Evidence
    Introducing Digital Evidence in California State Courtsi Introducing Documentary and Electronic Evidence In order to introduce documentary and electronic evidence obtained in compliance with California Electronic Communication Privacy Act (Penal Code §§ 1546.1 and 1546. 2) in court, it must have four components: 1) it must be relevant. 2) it must be authenticated. 3) its contents must not be inadmissible hearsay; and 4) it must withstand a "best evidence" objection. If the digital evidence contains “metadata” (data about the data such as when the document was created or last accessed, or when and where a photo was taken) proponents will to need to address the metadata separately, and prepare an additional foundation for it. I. Relevance Only relevant evidence is admissible. (Evid. Code, § 350.) To be "relevant," evidence must have a tendency to prove or disprove any disputed fact, including credibility. (Evid. Code, § 210.) All relevant evidence is admissible, except as provided by statute. (Evid. Code, § 351.) For digital evidence to be relevant, the defendant typically must be tied to the evidence, usually as the sender or receiver. With a text message, for example, the proponent must tie the defendant to either the phone number that sent, or the phone number that received, the text. If the defendant did not send or receive/read the text, the text-as-evidence might lack relevance. In addition; evidence that the defendant is tied to the number can be circumstantial. And evidence that the defendant received and read a text also can be circumstantial. Theories of admissibility include: Direct evidence of a crime Credibility of witnesses Circumstantial evidence of a Impeachment crime Negates or forecloses a defense Identity of perpetrator Basis of expert opinion Intent of perpetrator Lack of mistake Motive II.
