Reports

I have prepared reports for matters that include:

Internet Use - The police seized a computer and subsequently charged a man with making indecent images.  I inspected the computer and prepared a report describing the Internet, access to the Internet using web browser software and the operation of the web browser cache when storing copies of images on the computer.  This report may be viewed and printed from the menu to the left under "Internet Use".

File Deletion - The police seized diskettes and other material and charged a man with making indecent images.  I prepared a report that showed that at least one diskette was "second hand", that it is not possible to know the date a file was deleted and that the Defendants computer could not write to a CD.  This report may be viewed and printed from the menu to the left under "File Deletion".

Technology - A serving police officer was the subject of disciplinary proceedings after several officers received racist documents via the police force internal mail service.  I assisted in the preparation of reports that discussed the large amount of technically sophisticated computer evidence gathered and reported upon by prosecution computer specialists.  Reports for an internal inquiry and a subsequent Employment Tribunal hearing included analysis of software generated log files and attempts to recreate computer files that matched printed documents.

Inspect Computer Content - The police seized several cable TV decoder boxes and a computer and produced a report that described how allegedly incriminating software on the computer could have been used to modify the cable TV boxes.  I inspected the computer and produced a report that described all of the content of the computer and described the allegedly incriminating software in context.  This report may be viewed and printed from the menu to the left under "Inspect Computer Content".

Incompatible Operation - I inspected four desktop computers and their operation with an additional hardware component where it was alleged that the computers had faults because they would not work with the additional component.  The report described the tests performed and the operation of the component in each computer during these tests.  This report may be viewed and printed from the menu to the left under "Test Computer Operation".

Disability Discrimination - I prepared a report to show that the implementation of voice recognition software would have been a reasonable step to assist a disabled person using a computer.  The report was for a disability discrimination hearing before an Employment Tribunal.  I gave evidence at the hearing for two days including most of the second day under cross examination.  An added challenge was a tribunal chairman with a good working knowledge of computers who insisted upon an exceptionally detailed explanation of almost everything.

Faulty Operation - I inspected a laptop computer and reported upon its operation where it was alleged that the computer was faulty.  This report may be viewed from the menu to the left under "Inspect Laptop Computer".
