be interesting to find out who, and what the other two statements are about that were lodged with the Dept. of Public Prosecution......I can't even make a guess..

Dr Sorrell has tabled his statement. This is new evidence . more new evidence.

RSBM

Yes i.e a witness statement and likely also an expert report.

I've given one of these before in a criminal investigation. I met with police in several interviews to talk about the matter, the end goal being a statement, which was a long multipage account which went through many drafts. Ultimately i signed it and it was evidence. As the matter never went to trial, i never testified.

MOO

I speculate they will relate to evidence seized after his arrest.

One thing I guess, is that the State will have been getting expert analysis of the accused's devices since he was arrested.
Phone was found on May 29th. Five months of analytics paying off perhaps?

Perhaps a spin-off from the analysed phone data?

ADMIN NOTE:

A reminder that this case is sub judice. If anyone needs a refresher on what that involves, read the Opening Posts, and specifically this one.

Also, please dial back on the attitudes that are cropping up in this discussion.

Post respectfully, and instead of bickering, either Report a violation, or move on without responding. Nobody comes here to watch people argue.

One thing that does crop up from time to time is it can be necessary to brute force the accused's phone. Which can take many months - IMO

I forgot about his phone. That’s a fascinating thought Mr J. It would hold treasures I’m certain.

Hey Mr J, can you please explain? Do you mean literally?

Lets' say an accused has an iPhone with a 6 digit alphanumeric key for example. It might take a long time for LE to crack it, if at all.

I am not sure of the current state of play with this, but i know it can be very difficult to get in.

Dr Matthew Sorrell uses digital data to solve crimes and build strong cases, and he provides expert testimony and analysis in court to explain digital evidence and its implications.

He has been involved in several high-profile crime cases, particularly those requiring digital forensic expertise. One notable case is the disappearance and murder of Karen Ristevski in which Dr Sorrell analysed CCTV footage of Karen's car, which helped establish a timeline and provided evidence linking Borce to the crime scene.

Dr Sorrell is an expert in wearable technology forensics and has worked on cases involving data from wearable devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches. This data can provide crucial insights into a person's movements and activities before a crime.
His work includes the EU project FORMOBILE, which focuses on mobile phone forensics from crime scene to courtroom.

Dr Sorrell emphasises the importance of health data in criminal investigations. This includes data from medical records, fitness apps, and other health-related devices that can provide evidence about a person's physical condition and activities.

He also provides consulting services to law enforcement agencies, helping them navigate the complexities of digital evidence and ensuring that the data collected is admissible in court.

Just been reading up on Dr Sorrell. Very interesting.

This video from back in May mentions police worked closely with a tech expert who helped find Samantha's phone. He'd also worked on other high profile cases, including Karen Ristevski.

Wait and see

It could be simple or could be more complicated.

unless there is video footage showing him guilty of the assault

The evidence is going to be very interesting
It sure will be Scoobs. Not that long ago this case possibly would’ve been shelved. Digital forensics has changed the game.

Including CCTV. Imagine how many cold cases would have been solved by both, including DNA technology which has led to new approaches to solving cases

True. In the old days finding a body was pretty much the only way to secure a conviction. The fact that Vicpol don’t have one suggests some fairly conclusive proof to be willing to go to trial.
