Your client is arrested for robbery. Like everybody that walks into your office, he claims he didn’t do it and that he was at the park with his kid at the time of the crime. Wisely, you turn to the information stored on his iPhone to show that he was nowhere near the scene of the crime because you can show that his phone was searching for WiFi connections around the houses next to the park.
Call Detail Records (CDRs) and cell phone location evidence has become crucial evidence in many civil and criminal trials. In this CLE course, Larry Daniel will teach you how cell phones work and how CDR and location evidence is used in legal cases – from insurance fraud to murder. In addition, Larry will cover tactics on how to locate cell phones and cell phone records and he will show you how to challenge the methods of analysis and the qualifications of persons who will testify about this evidence. These topics are also addressed: how to get CDRs from Verizon, AT&T & Sprint, how CDRs are used, what they contain, how to generate cell phone location maps, retention, records, prepaid “burner phones,” getting the records, cell phone registration, how the phone chooses a tower, sector layout & azimuth, cell tower coverage, cell tower sectors and key case law.
