Sandra Paul
Sandra Paul, Partner in our Criminal Litigation team, was quoted in an article in The Telegraph on 26 July 2019:
Wearable technology such as Fitbits or mobile devices could act as "technology witnesses" and provide valuable data that can support events in an independent manner.
These are things that happen in private , so they can provide an objective view about timelines, they can provide an objective view about what happened"
She added that
What you want is a fair trial, no matter what side of the aisle you are on. We need to look at really clear guidelines, documenting who has access to it, things that would give people piece of mind."
