Finding Innocence with Digital Evidence

Digital Evidence, just like DNA evidence can prove innocence. And just like DNA evidence, it’s imperative to know how to locate the sources of digital evidence. On May 5, 2017, the Prosecutor in the case said there was an issue with the witness identification of Anthony Christiana as the gunman in the case; therefore, the Prosecutor dropped the murder charges against Christiana in the murder of William Prieto. IRIS LLC investigators discovered digital evidence which contradicted the eyewitness statement that said that the man that killed Prieto was clean shaven. An IRIS LLC digital forensics examiner was able to extract a photo from a cell phone owned by Christiana’s girlfriend, and that photo, showing Christiana with facial hair, had been taken 14 hours after the murder proving Christiana did not fit the eyewitness’s description of the murderer.

Digital Innocence: Accessing Locked Mobile Devices

Locked cell phones that were at one time inaccessible can now be unlocked using the latest digital forensic technology. There is often a lag time between the creation of new technology and the digital forensic community’s ability to analyze it. In 2015, digital forensic capabilities took a giant leap forward with the ability to unlock many cell phones that previously were not accessible. Digital evidence contained in some locked cell phones prior to 2015 can now be recovered using new technology.

Digital Innocence: Google Timeline Location Data

Google Timeline, launched in 2015, is a feature that contains location history and can establish that a user was located at a particular place and time. Google Timeline is a potential source of exculpatory evidence for criminal defense cases and wrongful conviction cases. Google collects location data from a user’s mobile device if they have a Google account and location services are enabled. This data is captured even while the device is idle. Android users are prompted to set up a Google account upon activation of their new mobile device and Apple iPhone users can also add a Gmail account to their device. This location data could exist since the creation of the account. Per Google, this information is derived from GPS data, cell site/cell tower information, and Wi-Fi access points. Google collects this data whenever one of their services is activated and/or whenever there is an event on the mobile device such as a phone call, text messages, internet access, or email access. Google information can also contain Gmail, photos and videos, search history, contacts, applications, other connected devices, Google Voice and Google Wallet. Google’s Timeline feature allows criminal defense attorneys and investigators to obtain detailed information about where someone has been – down to the longitude and latitude – over the course of YEARS.
