We met with a federal prosecutor recently who said that in his 20+ years of prosecuting cases, not once has he had evidence thrown out based on an attack against Chain of Custody.
It makes me wonder if the Chain of Custody process is that solid in his area or if it just isn’t challenged that frequently. We didn’t have time left in the meeting so I didn’t get a chance to ask more questions. Either way, not something to get complacent on.
