The Work
Behind the
Record.
How Did Truth Hunter Investigations Play a Part?
The State charged a stack of felony murder counts and related violent felonies on a set of facts that required a self-defense investigation, not just a review of the police reports. The digital record and the witness accounts had to be lined up against the State’s reconstruction of who did what, and when.
Cell phone extractions were examined for call activity, messages, timing, and whether the devices supported or undercut the claimed sequence.
The investigation was used at trial to show that the original workup had not answered the questions a homicide investigation is supposed to answer before a jury is asked to convict.
Jury trial charges: Felony Murder (4 counts), Aggravated Assault, Criminal Intent to Commit Armed Robbery, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.
