The manner in which results of digital image forensic investigations are presented in the courtroom can be positively or adversely affected by case law, federal rules, legislative acts, availability of discovery materials, tools, and the use of exhibits. Issues pertinent to effective and successful testimony are addressed, along with suggestions for improvement of methods.
