If ever there was a indictment of the quality of forensic evidence, this would be it. The expert "guessed" the contents of the encrypted drive? With what, magic? Did the arrangement of the encrypted content hint at the presence of child pornography?
Actually surprised that arstechnica didn't call this out - maybe they knew their audience was sufficiently technical to get the implication.
- physguy1123 11y agoThere are plenty of reasons one can guess the contents of the hard drive - but it's nothing more, just a guess. Could be useful for guiding a search for actual evidence. The real issue here is that the legal system is then treating this guess itself as a sort of actual evidence for jailing the suspect.
