I've heard this line many times and it's got me curious.

If I do a total wipe lets say with DBAN. What's the likelihood you're going to find something useful in the odd sectors that may have been taken out of service by SMART or in the case of an SSD by trim? It seems like you might get bits and pieces, but finding "myfraudevidence.doc" complete enough to bring as evidence would be unlikely?

I live in a home that was converted into multiple dwellings in NY.

One of our outlets is tied into another occupants electrical box.

I've read that this is a big deal, as the landlord could be made liable for the electric bills until it's sorted out, and my understanding is that if you start electrical work, the whole building will need to be brought up to code.

The building has changed hands twice while I've lived there. I'm just curious, since the building has been inspected twice, is this something that ever gets looked at?

How often in your position are you called into court to explain your evidence to a jury? If so have you had any interesting questions thrown at you regarding the validity of the data?

I ask because having sat on a jury, the lawyers asked more questions about the credentials of the lab tech and the organization than they did about the evidence itself.
