Digital forensics services can also play a critical role in examining the evidence provided by law enforcement or the state, obtained from the defendant’s computer and mobile phone. By subjecting this evidence to rigorous analysis, digital forensics experts can identify errors, inconsistencies, or procedural flaws that may render the evidence inadmissible or undermine its credibility.
For example, digital forensics can uncover issues such as data tampering, improper handling of evidence, or insufficient chain of custody procedures. By thoroughly examining the digital evidence, defense attorneys can challenge its authenticity, question its integrity, and potentially have it excluded from the trial, thereby weakening the prosecution’s case.
