Introduction
As there are many events in field of computer security , few of them are satisfiable while some are worthwhile just like a successful courtroom experience. Investigating a computer security incident leads to a legal proceeding such as court proceeding, where the digital evidence and documents obtained are likely used as exhibits in the trial. There are specific and special rules existing for ensuring that the evidence which are likely used as exhibits are genuine and exactly the same what they want to be or appear to be. So your collection , handling and storage of electronic media, paper documents, equipment and any other physical evidence can be challenged during adverse civil or criminal proceedings by an adversary.

In best evidence rule an original copy of document is considered as superior evidence. One of the rule says, if an evidence is readable by sight or reflect the data accurately such as any printout or data stored in a computer or similar devices or any other output is considered as ‘original’. It states that multiple copies of electronic files may be a part or equivalent to ‘original’. Electronic evidence collected is mostly transferred to different media so many computer security professional are heavily dependable on this rule.
At my organization, we define best evidence as the most complete copy or a copy which includes all necessary parts of evidence which is closely related to the original evidence. One of the best evidence is having the original evidence media. Let say a client has a copy of the original evidence media, then it is considered as best evidence. We treat our forensic duplication by considering it as best evidence. Therefore, when we say “best evidence” it is nothing but we refer to the evidence we have in our power.

For starters pieces of evidence that strongly pulled together the defence’s case were viewed with doubt and disbelief from the prosecution but
The security controls, policies, procedures, and guidelines were tested using the security testing plan that was evaluated by a security team to correct and report flaws in the system design. The only major flaw doesn’t relate to the network or the physical system itself, but instead policies and procedures seem to be at the highest risk. Policies and procedures explain that the chain of custody during media transportation and disposal should be logged and tracked impeccably. I believe putting stronger controls in place for the transportation of media would lower the risk of exposed confidentiality tremendously. I believe each device used to transport should be trackable at any given time, rather than just by logs.

Presentation of Evidence: In order to try to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the prosecution will first present its case. This evidence may include witnesses, records, and forensic data. After then, the defence will get a chance to question the witnesses for the prosecution. Defense's Case:
CO4507 Digital Forensic Investigation Introduction Nowadays digital devices are everywhere in our life’s helping peoples in many sectors and providing possibilities to them. By pronounce the term “digital devices” the majority of the peoples thinking the computers, smart phones, tablets and the cloud applications. Now the digital devices are important not only in our work environment, or for entertainment and educational reasons, but are important because we can use them as digital evidence. Any kind of technology that processes information can be used in a criminal way vise versa can be used as digital evidence in the court.
However, the way the glass evidence at the crime scene was documented, collected, and preserved absolutely would have had an impact on the examination results at the lab. The glass evidence was mishandled as it was reportedly transferred from an envelope to a plastic bag during the investigation, which could have resulted in further loss or contamination of the evidence. Overall, the mishandling of significant evidence compromised the reliability and admissibility in court. Again, this example of mishandling of evidence posed as another contention point within the case and resulted in much
Today, modern standards require the burden of proof be brought forth by the plaintiff, or prosecution in criminal cases. This means that the accused no longer has to prove they did not commit the crime, but the prosecution has to prove that all the evidence proves the accused did in fact commit the crime in question. Circumstantial evidence is not enough, but physical evidence, or forensic evidence is now required in modern courts for a conviction. Additionally, the modern standard when considering evidence, and for conviction is “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
To the dutiful members of the jury, my team and I thank you for being a part of this painfully tedious process. It is up to you and your civic duty to establish the fate of this case and this man. We highly suggest that you listen to your heart, do you personally believe that this man should be exonerated? Should we allow a man, a creation of the slums and wittingly knows his way around a knife, walk free? There is no doubt that there’s a level of surmounting evidence that he is guilty, he has the track record of a criminal and it was about time that he would murder someone.
Evidence that cannot be seen nor proven should not be legitimate in the court of law. In Herb Block’s Cartoon “I have here in my hand” Senator Joseph McCarthy is holding two pieces of evidence in his hands. In his right hand, he is holding a document
Computer forensics processes must adhere to standards set by the courtroom that often complicates what could have been a simple data analysis. In court, knowing who connected to the system based on logs is not enough. There must be facts that will support those connection

The goal of the computer forensics is to provide information about how the crime happened, why and who is involved in the crime in any legal proceeding by using the computer forensic tools.
Many forms of evidence apply to support an idea. Listed below are a few of them: 1) Observations - An observational evidence is a powerful evidence to support an idea because it is a direct method to collect data or information. Correspondingly, primary data is frequently more reliable and accurate than secondary data. For instance, if a witness is submitted to the court to have seen the murder, the judge would likely come to a conclusion that the defendant is guilty. I believe "eyes tell more than words could ever say".
Circumstantial evidence can be fully apprehended if it is compared in context of direct evidence. It is a type of evidence which is simply direct evidence applied indirectly. The whole discussion brings us back to the most fundamental question i.e. whether the circumstantial evidence can be used as sole basis of conviction or not. The fact cannot be denied that circumstantial evidence plays a pivotal role in a criminal case.
Bias is prejudice about someone or something which has been created based on incomplete information. More often bias has a negative effect as it affects other people, our way of thinking that could be driven into stereotypes frame. Every day we face with a huge number of biases and some of us even do not know about the existence of them. If it gets to that point when something suffers from it, people need to overcome biases. There are a lot of examples of biases in our world.
The following section will consider advantages and limitation of the first two mentioned types of digital forensics: Traditional (dead) and Live computer forensics. TRADITIONAL (DEAD) VS LIVE DIGITAL FORENSICS Traditional (Dead) Forensics In order forensic acquisition to be more reliable it must be performed on computers that have been powered off. This type of forensics is known as ‘traditional’ or 'dead ' forensic acquisition. The whole process of dead acquisition, including search and seizure flowchart and acquisition of digital evidence flowchart is shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3 respectively.
