The purpose of a computer forensics investigator's report is to convey an opinion or convince a jury that a suspect is guilty, not detail findings

Question

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Answer 1

False—The purpose of the report is to detail findings. The report is a statement of facts, and the jury must decide on the issue of guilt. An investigator must not only state findings, but also provide full details about the process of the investigation, which must always include mistakes investigators made or failings of an inquiry.
