o D. conserved: To be admissible in court, digital evidence must be conserved; meaning it must be preserved in its original state to maintain its integrity and reliability, ensuring it has not been tampered with or altered since collection.
o A. material: While evidence needs to be "material" in the sense that it's relevant to the case and can prove or disprove a fact, this is not the specific requirement for digital evidence to be admissible in court.
To bring digital evidence to court, conservation is crucial. Digital evidence must be properly preserved to maintain its integrity and avoid any alteration, which could render it inadmissible in court. Conservation refers to the process of ensuring that digital evidence is carefully handled, stored, and protected from tampering or degradation throughout the investigation and legal proceedings. While digital evidence must be material (relevant to the case), this term doesn't specifically address the preservation aspect, which is more critical for court admissibility.
For evidence to be admissible in court, it must be material, meaning it must be relevant and have a significant impact on the case. Material evidence directly relates to the facts in dispute and can affect the outcome of the case by proving or disproving a key point.
