Email Evidence in Court

Article from June 2000 discussing the mafia and how the FBI used their technology to get him. Is it admissable in court?

http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,78284,00.asp


these are interesting points. the keystroke bug delves into issues of privacy which i'm not too familiar with. for the case with the mafia and the fbi, it's gonna come down to how the search warrant was worded. if the search warrant was for electronic, magnetic, and any other form of computer data relating to the gambling and loansharking business of this mafia lord then i don't see how a judge could turn this down. there should be no issue of authenticity either in this case because he's using digital signatures and encrypted key pairs with pgp (he's the only person that should have access to this info, so the burden of proof that someone else used his passwords and key pairs would be on him, not the government). all other evidence the fbi got as a result of using the keystroke logging bug such as medical records, airline receipts, etc. should not be allowed as evidence assuming the search warrant did not encompass it.

Excellent place to search and locate information allowing full use of downloaded try-out software
 
sir wanks, that was either a cut and paste from the company's product discription, or you're selling window washer lol. j/k.

i'm not familiar with what sk* was talking about with the 1 and 0, but i know window washer doesn't do the trick. the fbi can find all washed material after window washer is done with it, but it is extremely time consuming and expensive and not likely done on your computer unless you're a terrorist. the estimated time to retrieve all washed material is 240 hours per hard drive per wash.
 
besides carnivore, there's a simple virus attachment that can be sent via email to log your keystrokes, track your internet activity, and download copies of your hard drive.

The Supreme Court ruled that all computer-generated evidences are hearsay unless they fall into “hearsay exception” rules. The only applicable exception is if the electronic evidence is a “business record.” This term is very arguable. If you simply had a list of AS on your computer or even prices for them, it may not qualify as business records. This will depend on the ability of your attorney to convince the judge. Email records are certainly not business records. As of 1996 no federal court had applied the business records exception to email messages.


Also, in order to qualify for a business document, it has to have some sort of arrangement or organization to it. Simply having a price list on a computer could have been generated anywhere, and it's authenticity is highly doubtable. Now, a price list, with purchase agreements, contracts, records of sales, income tax returns all kept in the same general place would show a trend of business... and would get in past the hearsay exception.

Hearsay is ANY out of court statement that is used to prove the truth of the matter asserted. E-mail evidence that has you saying "Yes, I have 2000 Dbol and sell them frequently" cannot be used to prove you have them or sell them... but it could be used to attack your character or creditability if you said you never have sold Steroids before in your life.

Does that make sense? you can admit hearsay evidence as long as you aren't admitting what it is... it's confusing, and that's why you go to law school and hire lawyers. Simple English Version: If I have a paper that says "A", it cant' be admitted to prove "A" but it can be admitted to show "B and C".

E-mail me if you's gotz questions... SUCKA!!!

ok, that's confusing as hell lol. so, if "A" is unauthentic and hearsay, it can still be admitted to show the validity of "b" and "c"?

Authenticity is a completely differnet story. If the evidence isn't authentic, it can't get in. Basically, if "A" is a piece of paper (or e-mail) that can not be proven to be written by the writer... then it really doesn't matter if it is hearsay or not...

That's my take on it. Now, if I used Joe Citruscide (my real name) and had an e-mail [email protected] -- it would be pretty easy to trace who my e-mail belongs to. Now, who else had access to my account, that's another story... but when you start saying "Anyone could have e-mailed that from my account", now you sound like a guilty person just throwing out bones. It would be better to actually disprove that the account was yours in the first place... if at all possible.
