From crime scene to court room

Digital forensics is a rapidly evolving field with new technologies and methods constantly emerging, which makes it challenging for experts to keep up and maintain consistent, accurate analysis. To address this, knowledge sharing and standardized best-practices are essential to ensure reliable and comparable forensic conclusions. Founder Joe Hoy writes here about the role of the Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence (SWGDE) in developing consensus, creating best-practice guidelines for handling and interpreting diverse digital evidence types, and working to unify expert approaches.

At Forensic Analytics we have an on-going commitment to academia. This takes shape in many different forms, most prominently in our much-valued partnerships with various universities across the UK and the USA. Additionally, a number of our own staff are completing there own academic courses.

In a Denver murder case, investigators overcame a two-year-old defense challenge to cellular evidence, using Lima Cell Monitor, CSAS, and a Radio Frequency Propagation Survey (RFPS) to validate Timing Advance data. The evidence held up in a Shreck hearing, helping secure a 124-year sentence for the main defendant and convictions for three others.
