Digital Evidence
Presented by Brian M. Chase, Esq., Managing Director, Digital Forensics, ArcherHall
This session explores situations where the defense has used digital evidence to get a successful outcome in a case. We will show situations where the digital evidence was misinterpreted, misunderstood, or simply missed and how the correct interpretation of the evidence was crucial for a not guilty verdict or lesser charge. You’ll learn how to spot errors in the use of digital forensics, and how to successfully use digital forensics to defend your case.
Introduction to Forensic Firearm Evidence
Presented by Rick Wyant and Aaron Brudenell; forensic firearm and shooting reconstruction experts
Presentation is a brief overview of basic forensic firearm examination types, laboratory and crime scene information, and the synthesis of those towards the goal of investigating the circumstances of a shooting incident. Additional techniques such as 3D Scanning and Photographic examinations are also discussed. Opportunities for questions and discussions will be available throughout the course and at the end.
Dog Sniff Evidence: The Truths vs the Myths
Presented by Andy Falco, Owner and President of Falco Enterprises, Inc.
Laboratory Transgressions in DNA Testing
Presented by Dr. Vince Miller, Owner D4D LLC, a New Mexico DNA Consulting firm
Forensic DNA testing is used extensively in criminal cases. While the technology is so advanced that it can often be intimidating to defense attorneys. And while the data is often compelling, there are numerous instances where the DNA laboratory has either intentionally or unintentionally misused the technology, particularly the statistical analyses, beyond the interpretation limitations of the method. Here you will learn how to spot these laboratory transgressions to help develop an effective defense.
