Notable Quotes 2
Unless you can quickly propose a solution, we believe we need to raise this with the Court.
Otherwise, I think the burden of reviewing adult nudity only in the government's office or courthouse imposes an extraordinary cost on our client and prevents us from analyzing the metadata, having our experts review the file structures, keeps us from preparing photos for use at trial, and generally impedes our defense.
Red Flags 3
- Discrepancies in the number of highly confidential images reported by the FBI and the number presented to the defense.
- Inability to access critical evidence due to file corruption and lack of appropriate readers.
- Missing metadata and inability to match photos with their corresponding data.
