Back in 2011, with the full agreement and approval of Richard Sizer, I produced a slightly revised edition of The Computer in Court. The rights in the book had reverted to us when it ceased being published by Gower. This time, to ensure that the book was widely available, I made it into a free download from my then personal website. Many of my ex-students from the London School of Economics were able to read it and enjoy it. Since Richard's death I have converted The Computer in Court into a Google Docs edition so that you can now download it in a variety of formats including EPUB, Word, ODT and PDF. Just click on the image on the left and download it in the format you wish to have.
A couple of my ex-LSE students have told me that today it is probably best to start reading The Computer in Court from Chapter 4 onward rather that reading the chapters in the order they were originally written. This is because to explain the problem of computer evidence Richard and I created an imaginary criminal trial in which a young lad was charged with a crime based upon evidence from computers, We scripted the entire trial and the witness testimony following UK court procedure. So if you start reading at Chapter 4 you will be reading a little drama which will illustrate how computer evidence can be wrong and false.
