Defence

In defence cases we would endeavour to answer any questions presented to us. We conduct: Virus, Malware, Keylogger and Third Party Software checks for hacking or malicious activity. Conducting these checks involves our experts using our specialised forensic tools to analyse if any mitigating events have taken place on the device. By conducting these checks it allows us to really grasp a true understanding of whether there has been influences from hacks/malicious activity. In terms of the overall case this can have a huge impact as this can suggest that the actions taken on the device could have been out of the defendants control or by a third party, therefore giving a valid defence for the defendant.

We can obtain any dates, times, internet history, e-mails, messages, social media data, Whatsapp, etc. that is required from the defence to support the case. Being able to obtain such an array of specific pieces of information from multiple platforms/devices can support cases as the information can be used as supportive evidence. The information can be used to decipher the defendant’s whereabouts at a precise time, their internet search tendencies and can help build a profile for the defendant. All of which can be used to contribute to filling in the overall bigger picture in order to prove or disprove any indictments.

Once we have received the evidence and indictment we can work to find the truth. Upon completion, we will release an expert witness report of our findings to the solicitor in defence cases.

Full analysis process:

• We verify the Image files to ensure they are correct copies of the data.

• We run our own Internet, Media and analysis search over the original data. (we do not use the prosecution results).

• We review the results of our own searches using our own forensic tools.

• We will then comment on if any illegal material is present, how they came to be on the device and if there are any mitigating circumstances that could explain how such material came to be on the device.

• We will then review the prosecution report for accuracy and comment on if there are any technical points we disagree with.

• We also review any explanation supplied by your client and comment on if any evidence was identified that support the defendant explanation.

This extensive experience and in-depth analysis contributes to what makes IntaForensics the most effective digital forensic service for dealing with prosecution and especially defence cases, through:

• Tailored cases – we are aware each case is different. Therefore, we do not just simply have set structures and questions we can report on. We are able to find the answers to your unique questions.

• Grading experience – when categorising the grade of indecent images, they can sometimes fall into the wrong category. This ultimately has a large impact on the overall prosecution. Which is why our extensive grading experience and ability to notice if something has been graded incorrect is something we pride ourselves on.

• Interpretation experience – we are able to interpret information in perhaps a way which the law enforcement or other service providers cannot. When we are given the cases we are open to interpretation and do not make immediate presumptions, despite what we have been told.

• Expert witness authorisation – ultimately we are authorised to provide a report and this is one of an expert witness magnitude, meaning that our verdict will be influential on the prosecution.

• Fair, uninfluenced judgement – we hold a fair view and will highlight any extra information that we deem as relevant. Meaning if we agree with the report we have been given by the law enforcement, we will state we agree. However, we will not then hold back findings that disagree, thus meaning a fair outcome will follow on.
