Chapter 14 - Defense Attorneys Struggle Against Irrefutable Digital Evidence
As the trial date approached, defense attorneys attempted to file numerous motions to suppress the data chip evidence.
They argued that the maid’s discovery constituted an unlawful search and seizure without a formal police warrant.
Marcus Vance, special counsel representing the government, easily dismantled their arguments in front of the federal bench.
“The discovery was made by a domestic employee performing routine housekeeping duties in an unsealed private residence,” Vance argued.
“There was no state action involved at the moment of discovery, rendering Fourth Amendment suppression motions entirely moot,” he proved.
Judge Arthur agreed instantly, tossing out the defense motions with prejudice and praising the spontaneity of the lawful discovery.
Defense experts attempted to claim the data on the encrypted microchip could have been digitally manipulated or planted.
However, forensic IT specialists from MIT and the FBI testified under oath, verifying the unalterable cryptographic integrity of the chip.
