Use the web or other resources to research at least two criminal or civil cases in which recovered files played a significant role in how the case was resolved
Answer preview
The second criminal case in which recovered filled influenced the outcomes is that of 24-year-old Mikyala Munn. In March 2016, the former Manchester University student hid her pregnancy for nine months and finally gave birth in the dorm’s bathtub (AP news, 2018). However, the mother immediately drowned her baby. She claimed that she gave birth and passed out, which was the cause of death. After investigations were carried out, it was established that Mikyala has searched on the internet for at-home abortions. Also, she looked up the procedure for self-delivery and cutting the umbilical cord. The accused did not account for the case and pleaded guilty, thus sentenced to nine years imprisonment. It was also found that Mikyala had texted two men who she thought were the father about the pregnancy. All the information retrieved through digital forensics helped the court to make its ruling.
