Cell Site Analysis – Your Problem Solved
Travelling the UK to deliver cell site analysis training to legal professionals such as Barristers, Advocates and Solicitors it has become clear that many people do not like handling this type of evidence due to the technical nature of it.
When faced with cell site analysis evidence it can be overbearing, as well as time consuming when a large amount of data, usually in paper format, as well as maps and maybe schedules are served on you, often without any interpretation whatsoever of how this cell site analysis evidence is to be used.
The best way to deal with this cell site analysis evidence when it does appear is to obtain the services of an expert company. Initial advice on cell site analysis should always be free of charge and an initial look at the exhibits by a cell site analysis expert can very quickly establish errors in the prosecution work as well as areas that can be attacked.
The legal professional does not need to have gone through all the documents and data at this point. If they have, and have put together their advice in relation to instructing a cell site analysis expert, then those particular questions may be answered in a report. If not then an initial review of the other sides work can be requested and then areas for consideration can be looked at later on.
If you have never instructed a cell site analysis expert before then the easiest route to take is to contact an expert company, and bear in mind that if you are looking to attack the credibility of the other sides expert then make sure you have seen the CV of the person you instruct to ascertain that they have relevant industry experience. A good expert should be able to supply a list of cases on which they have worked for both prosecution and defence.
Any cell site analysis expert will normally all want to see particular documents in order to advise you as to whether a case is worth pursuing, such as Counsels Advice, case summary, as well as copies of any cell site analysis evidence as prepared by the Crown, either by an expert company, or as is often the case these days, a police analyst.
If you have not yet had a case involving cell site analysis then it may be worth attending a CPD course on the subject which should leave you armed with enough information to feel comfortable with this often complex evidence.
