⚡ 2-Minute Tip #8: Retain the Right Experts

Digital evidence is only as good as your ability to explain and preserve it.

Delays in retaining experts mean missed opportunities to:

• Advise on early triage

• Identify weak points in law enforcement analysis

• Flag time-sensitive sources

📌 Practical Action:

• Build relationships with experts you trust before you need them.

• Include them in early strategy calls, especially in complex or tech-heavy cases.

• Use expert insight to shape motions, discovery requests, and trial visuals.

Shedding Light on Wrongful Convictions Through Digital Evidence

Weak or ineffective defenses against cell site data have too often contributed to wrongful convictions. Our recent study reveals a critical insight: 12 out of 20 wrongful conviction exonerations involved cell site data. This underscores the dual nature of this complex digital evidence—it can be misinterpreted, leading to injustice, or accurately analyzed to prove innocence.

Among those exonerated through precise cell site data analysis are:

• Vernon Horn
• Marquis Jackson
• Giovanni Hernandez
• Lisa Roberts
• Patrick Murray
• Jerome Loach
• India Spellman
• Herbert Alford
• Daryl Williams
• Derrick Harris
• Maurice Bradford
• Mark Craighead

At IRIS LLC and the Digital Innocence Initiative, we are dedicated to empowering public defenders with the technical expertise and resources necessary to strengthen defenses and safeguard justice.

The Defense Never Rests — Neither Should Your Digital Evidence Strategy

This Memorial Day, we honor those who served and sacrificed for our country. Their dedication reminds us that justice requires vigilance and timely action.

Although our offices may be closed for the holiday, the defense never rests. For Connecticut attorneys, digital evidence is time-sensitive: phones, apps, video, and other records can be lost or altered in hours. Early action is critical to protect your clients and prevent wrongful convictions.

At IRIS LLC, we provide 24/7 Connecticut and nationwide support for defense teams:
• Preserve time-sensitive digital evidence
• Rapid forensic review
• Defense-driven case strategy
• Support to prevent wrongful convictions

The defense never rests. Neither should your evidence strategy.

Act now. Protect the record. Free the innocent.

⚡ 2-Minute Tip #7: Get Ahead of App Deletion

Messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, and Snapchat are designed to erase or encrypt data.

Once messages vanish, they are rarely recoverable—even with a forensic image.

📌 Practical Action:

• Ask clients early what apps were in use and whether anything relevant happened there.

• Use tools that can extract volatile data before it’s lost, such as Cellebrite UFED or GrayKey, when available.

• Send account preservation letters to Apple, Facebook, or other cloud-linked services—even if the content originated in a secure messaging app.

In today’s litigation environment, digital evidence is central to shaping early strategy—especially in high-exposure or complex insurance defense matters.

✅ Reveal key facts before formal discovery

✅ Support early resolution or motion practice

✅ Improve collaboration with claims teams and insureds

✅ Reduce the scope—and cost—of downstream discovery

✅ Strengthen your position from day one

At IRIS LLC we partner with defense counsel to deliver targeted, defensible Early Case Assessment (ECA) workflows that bring digital clarity to the table—fast.

Let’s talk about how early digital insight can strengthen your case strategy.

Digital Evidence Shouldn’t Be a Blind Spot for Public Defenders

That’s why we co-founded the Digital Innocence Initiative.

We support public defenders and post-conviction teams nationwide with the tools, training, and expert insight needed to create a more fair and equitable criminal justice system.

We’re here to bring clarity to complexity—and help protect the innocent.

⚡ 2-Minute Tip #5: Gmail & Google Location Data Have Limits

Google retains Location History and Gmail content—but not forever, and not always fully.
With consent or court order, you may recover:

• Maps Timeline routes

• Gmail headers and timestamps

• Google Photos metadata

But retention varies, and deleted items may not be recoverable.

📌 Practical Action:

• Immediately send Google a preservation request under their Law Enforcement Request system (LER).

• If your client has access to the account, perform a legal and defensible download (Google Takeout) before they lose access.

• Prioritize if you suspect the account is tied to movement, search activity, or communications around the time of the incident.
