Builds on: Advanced Electronic Evidence (Part 2): IoT, Anti-Forensics, Ethics and Reporting
The Forensic Report and Giving Evidence
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Good work can be lost at the last step. A report that nobody can follow, or a witness who claims too much, can undo months of careful examination. The report and the witness box are where the work meets the court.
Focus: say what you did, what you found, what you think, and how sure you can be. Keep those four apart. This unit is general knowledge. It is not legal advice, and court rules differ by country.
Learning objectives
- State the main duty of an expert witness.
- List the parts of a sound forensic report.
- Separate a finding from an opinion, and write each in plain words.
- Weigh a finding under two accounts of the facts, without stating who is guilty.
- Prepare to give evidence, in court or by video link, and stay inside your expertise.
