This is standard practice in the UK already. Every request I receive would include the forensic image files as a minimum
...and the cost of ISO17025 will finish them off!
Thank you for the transcript, very interesting.

Peter Sommer says around 10:14:40 that he's proposing making a copy of the forensic image available to the defense because exhaustive analysis is not possible. I'm surprised that this is not already common practice! I would expect any competent defense attorney in the U.S. to demand a full image copy for independent analysis. Exceptions would be if CP was involved, but even then a full image copy in a controlled environment, vice an uncontrolled duplicate, should still be obtained.

I agree in full disclosure when it comes to the defendants own computer or phone but in the circumstances of a co-defendant or a victims computer the OIC or disclosure officer should review before giving it to the defence.
Anything that assists the defence should be disclosed.

Re: Good discussion re disclosure of digital evidence in the
Hi,
Of course one of the issues with disclosing everything is most defendants won't even have their own expert.
I've been in digital forensics a long time and I don't think I've ever seen the market so short of experts doing work for the defence. There isn't enough money to make it viable.
The situation I am most used to now is how do I provide 'everything' to the solicitors in a format that they can use? This becomes even harder if the solicitors don't engage with the police and indicate what exhibits and what data may help their case.

This was on BBC Radio 4 this evening. Well worth a listen if you have not already. The majority of the discussion is about digital forensics.

In addition to the oral evidence to the UK House of Commons Justice Select Commitee already referred to, here is myearlier written evidence.
goo.gl/YUXQfm
If rather than watching the tv version of the oral evidence you'd like a transcript, here it is:
data.parliament.uk/wri.../83096.pdf
I have also written a blog about the problems of "too much disclosure" in relation to rape trials:
pmsommer.blogspot.com/2018/05/
Some people have suggested that "AI" might provide solutions to disclosure/discovery: here are my comments:
pmsommer.blogspot.com/...solve.html
Finally, the perennial issue of accreditation. I have written about this before but here is pre-print of what is appearing in the academic journal Digital Investigation:

Can artificial intelligence solve the criminal disclosure problem?
