   Important decision from MA Supreme Judicial Court regarding "black box" algorithmic digital forensics. The prosecution tried to use iPhone "frequent location history" evidence against the defendant to prove his presence at the scene. The SJC excluded the evidence as unreliable because the prosecution could not prove the methodology was reliable or testable.

   If prosecutors want to use algorithmic evidence against defendants, they should have to disclose source code. #Law
