UK: Expert witness questions child porn jailings
Iain Thomson writes in vnunet.com:
A witness in computer crime trials has called for the release of individuals convicted of child pornography offences based entirely on material found on their hard drives.
Jason Coombes, who has been involved in computer crime trials since 1994, issued a statement calling on police to be more thorough in their investigations.
The expert contends that third-party control of a PC which is then used to store or view child pornography images could lead to the conviction of innocent people.
"I have seen numerous cases in which the computer forensic evidence proves that a third-party intruder was in control of the suspect's computer," said Coombes.
