Original Digital Media Evidence is Mandatory
February 23, 2011
Digital audio is recorded and stored in electronic equipment. If the audio is needed in court, the original device that created the recording must be identified and kept in a chain of custody. The only exception is when both parties involved in the litigation agree that a copy is sufficient. If there is doubt in the authenticity, the audio expert must refer to the original to support the authentication of the audio evidence.
