Problem Scenario:
? Read the included search warrant (Case #15-190459)
? You are a certified digital forensic examiner and retired police officer hired by a local
attorney who deals primarily in criminal cases and representing clients who have been
charged with Class A felonies. The attorney tells you that his client, Randall M. Peterson,
has just been arrested by the police for Rape of a Child in the First Degree and Sexual
Exploitation of a Minor. Your attorney has asked you to read the search warrant and
provide him with an assessment of what you might believe to be of concern to him.
? As the defense expert on the matter, discuss all of the issues to this point and then direct,
explain, and discuss any further issues that will or potentially may arise as a result of
your direction in this matter. If something legal, policy wise, or technical does not
obviously appear in the search warrant, assume that it does not exist or did not occur.
Indeed, there are many unknowns here in this scenario. It will be up to you to provide the
most comprehensive assessment possible.
