Research Paper/Term Paper

INSTRUCTIONS: This assignment is a hands – on investigation and will require the student to investigate evidence files and then generate a state of art file system forensic analysis report that would be suitable for a trial. The assignment is based on the below criminal scenario and requires a thorough review of a file system analysis of the information that has already been collected by investigators.

WHERE TO BEGIN : All of the forensic evidence available to you is provided in the Evidence File, this includes digital evidence, interviews, and police reports. You will need to base your investigation off of the evidence. Based on your investigation, identify evidence that either supports the charges against Jane Doe or exculpates her from the crime at hand.

1. Review the evidence file under “Course Assignments” and all of its contents.
2. Apply the techniques that have been covered in this course over the first twelve weeks to identify any potential evidence.
3. Use one of the digital forensic report examples in the content folder or create your own to explain why the evidence can be used to draw factual conclusions about the case.
4. Create a brief PowerPoint of your findings that could be used in a court of law to explain your findings to a Jury.
5. Remember, it is not up to you to determine guilt or innocence. This is the job of the Jury, therefore, let your findings determine the facts of the case and draw the conclusions on their own.
6. You must provide proper citation of all websites, cases, periodicals and any referenced information.
