Computer Forensic Scientist Becomes an Expert Witness
August 22nd, 2010 . by adminThe use of computer forensic scientists as an expert witness is increasing in this country. As more homes and business are becoming paperless, our sensitive information is readily available to computer hackers. When white collar crimes of this nature reach the courtroom, an expert in this field is almost essential. The witness will be able to explain to the jurors how the computer systems were infiltrated as well as proof to the ISP address of the hacker or defendant as the case may be. His testimony will be the key factor for a conviction or exoneration of the defendant because many people do not understand the inner-workings of the Internet or computers in general.
