Examination of Evidence Assistance Review | Gathering Internet Evidence to Assist a Defamation Client

The child of the client who requested examination of evidence passed away recently for an unspecified reason.

The client subsequently checked the child's mobile phone and learned that the child had been subjected to cyberbullying.

Excessive criticism and insulting posts directed at the child still remained on the internet.

The client therefore resolved to file a complaint regarding the malicious posts and requested examination of evidence.

However, as in the client's account, defamation of a deceased person is not established when a true fact is stated.

Defamation of a deceased person requires the statement of a false fact, and it must also be proven that the person who stated the false fact did so while being aware of its "falsity."

In addition, defamation of a deceased person is a crime requiring a complaint to prosecute, so an investigation can proceed only when the victim of the crime or a person entitled to file a complaint files the complaint.

If the victim has died, the persons entitled to file a complaint are limited to relatives or descendants.

Defamation of a deceased person is subject to the following punishment.

The defamation attorney conducted the investigation by selecting target sites and keywords.

In particular, the attorney analyzed the code for each site that contained numerous malicious comments and collected evidence.

As a result, the attorney succeeded in collecting evidence of hundreds of comments.

The defamation attorney carried out a selection process based on the evidence that had been secured.

In particular, the attorney selected and analyzed comments that fell under suspicion of defamation of a deceased person.

Based on this, it was possible to select comments that could specify the charge.

This was the story of a client who requested evidence collection in order to file a defamation complaint and was able to carry out a successful examination of evidence thanks to the assistance of a defamation attorney.
