The Forensic Evidence Management Tool enables evidence to be stored, categorised, sorted and searched, to provide a coherent evidence repository and management environment. A full evidence matrix can be created pulling together the 'story' of the case, and from that evidence, an output in the form of a report or 'brief of evidence' can be automatically generated. The technology provides a most effective approach to the presentation of a case for efficient distribution and communication to key stakeholders such as prosecution or defence lawyers. Entities (persons or objects of interest) can be recreated and evidence can be easily cross-referenced or linked to these entities. Time-based events can be logged and linked to evidence or entities.
