During Thursday’s hearing, defence lawyer Geri Raymond Legge questioned expert witness Calvin Rafadi over past allegations that could affect the credibility of his forensic work. Rafadi denied the claims, clarifying that the iPhone mentioned in a South African case was never brought to his laboratory for data extraction.
Rafadi told the court that he used a Universal Forensic Extraction Device to retrieve information from SIM and memory cards, and an Android Kit to extract data from Android phones belonging to the accused. He also noted his prior experience as a forensic expert in cases involving mobile phones and laptops in Gauteng Province, South Africa.
The Special Court adjourned the hearing until Monday, March 9, when Rafadi’s cross-examination will resume.
