What we learned:

What happens where there is a difference in analysis between digital forensics investigators ?

Like physical evidence there is little room for differences regarding the facts of a case. There might be a different in explanation of the meaning of a piece of evidence depending on the story they are presenting. The tools are an instrument of interpreting the meaning of information on a device and tools can make mistakes. Using multiple tools that extract and analyze data from devices reduces the chance of this happening.

Other:

Thanks very much to my neighbours for assisting with the voice over for this episode. I do hope the human/furniture couples ballroom dancing and hollering team goes well in whichever competition you are preparing for. Also thanks to my audio editing software for deciding to have a meltdown and give me the opportunity to do the final mastering twice.

This episode's track is called 'curious diamonds'. Not all of the songs for podcast episodes get a name, but it did this time.
