This feedback is killing my ears! Ugh. Hahahaha...

(paraphrase)
Defense Attorney: "How much do you make off sales of this software"
Witness: "How is that relevant."
Defense: "Please ask him to answer the question"
Judge: "There was no objection, sir, you have to answer the question."

"About those Audio Forensic Experts

It's about this witness. This reporter takes him apart.

I wanted to investigate this a bit further and looked into downloading the software Tom Owen used.

But this proved to be extremely difficult, a license for the software costs nearly $5,000.

That’s a pretty hefty price to pay to test this software out…

After a few more minutes of research, I found out that the Easy Voice Biometrics web domain is actually owned by Tom Owen himself.

So what Tom Owen is actually doing here, is using his own home-grown software to attempt to determine the similarities in speech markers between two radically different types of voice patterns and claiming that it is accurate “beyond scientific certainty.”

I’m not sure whether the Orlando Sentinel author realizes it, but that could easily be construed as a conflict of interest, particularly when the software is currently being sold for $5,000 per license. There’s an extremely transparent profit motive for Tom Owen to promote his product in any way that he can, especially at that price.

I'm surprised the Judge accepted this witness as an expert.

Is the Pros team still there? I'm surprised they haven't offered any objections.

Pros: I object!
Judge: On what basis?
Pros: Defense is obliterating this witness, your Honor!
Judge: Overruled.

Pros: I object!
Judge: On what basis now?
Pros: Defense is making the witness look like he got his degree and software out of a box of Cracker Jacks.
Judge: Overruled.

All the witness has to say is (I don't know).....

[KWSS1976]

Please dismiss this witness, he is making the prosecution look so bad...

This "American College of Forensic Examiners" is a fraud. It's like going on Google to buy an Ordination License.

This guy is a fraud. Everything points to him. He has the standards on his website. He makes money on the sales of a program he used. He owns the website.

The Judge should deny the admittance of this as evidence. Defense is doing a great job of showing how bad it is.

And this is coming from a guy who believes Zimmerman is guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

From the link above...

As recently as January, Owen used the same technology to identify accused murderer Sheila Davalloo in a 911 call made almost a decade ago.

How could Owen have been using the same technology in that case when the web site says the software was only released three weeks ago?
