How Did Truth Hunter Investigations Play a Part?
This homicide file required a working digital timeline as much as it required a traditional investigative review. Without both, the State’s account of the event was difficult to test and even harder to explain to a jury in a form they could use.
Phone extractions and social media were analyzed for communications, timing, and consistency with the charged acts. The results were turned into demonstrative aids so the digital evidence was not left as a pile of printouts. The original investigation was evaluated against accepted standards: what was done, what was not done, and what that meant for the reliability of the State’s theory.
Expert testimony at trial covered investigative method and the proper interpretation of the digital evidence.
Jury trial charges: Felony Murder (2 counts), Voluntary Manslaughter, Aggravated Assault.
