Book Review: A Guide to Forensic Testimony

It is one thing to do a computer forensic investigation or perform incident response for the purpose of finding out who altered a file or what caused a system crash. It is a completely different thing to have your findings be accepted as evidence and stand up in a court of law. And, it is yet again a different thing altogether for you to take the stand as an expert technical witness and stand up to cross-examination. A Guide to Forensic Testimony- The Art and Practice of Presenting Testimony as an Expert Witness fills a niche where there aren't many other books. Fred Chris Smith and Rebecca Gurley Bace bring their knowledge of and experience with the legal system to enlighten you about the requirements and pitfalls of providing expert technical testimony.
