Building on your initial analysis, evaluate the reliability and probative value of the evidence gathered in the simulated case. Use the case file materials to assess the credibility of physical, digital, and testimonial evidence, and analyze how these elements interact in the investigative process.
Required Components:
Construct an Evidence Reliability Matrix that categorizes each source as physical, digital, testimonial, or forensic.
Assess credibility, admissibility, and potential bias of each source.
Discuss how forensic science and digital evidence (e.g., LPR, ShotSpotter, surveillance, social media data) inform investigative conclusions.
Identify intelligence gaps or areas requiring further corroboration
Integrate forensic and intelligence literature to support your discussion
Include at least three scholarly references
Deliverable:
ArcGIS Storyboard
3-4 page analytical report including the Evidence Reliability Matrix
