Bryan Neumeister Johnny Depp
Bryan Neumeister, CEO of USAForensic, testified in the courtroom during actor Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard. The jury was shown a short video clip showing the difference between a photo taken on an iPhone and one that has passed through editing in the Photos app. The image showed the side of Heard’s cheek. The color and tone of the pictures are different and a red mark on her skin appears more prominent in one over the other.
“We work with varying types of clients because to us, data is data and it takes no side, so we’ve ended up working for the prosecution, defense, law enforcement, The Innocence Project, we have a contract with the Department of Defense, we do classified and unclassified work, we’ve done classified work with various industries,” Neumeister said.
In this case, Neumeister’s company was asked to analyze photographs of Heard’s reported injuries to authenticate if the images were altered in any way.
Neumeister mainly used Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) data, a standard that defines specific information related to an image or other media captured by a digital camera, to recognize that the photos were not extracted directly from the original iPhone.
“In this situation, I can see the operating system says ‘Software: Photos 3.0’ instead of the system, which means the photos had to be rendered and composited together in an editing program,” Neumeister said on the stand.
Photos 3.0 and Photos 1.5 are editing software that Apple put out with their products for editing photos. However, the programs are a place to simply save and sort pictures as well.
“There’s no way to authenticate any photo that was presented in the way the evidence was collected,” Neumeister said. “This could not come out of an iPhone this way, this would go into a computer, be edited and rendered through the photo editor and this would then be embedded in the EXIF data.”
The images Neumeister received were screengrabs, rather than directly from the iPhone from which the images were taken, so the data was changed. Consequently, there is no way of positively or negatively determining if any of the pictures presented were altered.
“In 95% of cases, we have the actual phone. If people have something they want to keep as evidence they don’t throw out their phones, they don’t recycle their phones, they save their phones,” Neumeister added.
“So in a situation like this, there are no forensic extractions, in fact the extractions that we were provided were backups of backups of iTunes exports, so it’s third generation and there’s no way to verify the file paths and the history of any single photo that we’ve looked at,” he said.
