EVIDENCE 17: PROSECUTORS MANIPULATING CONTENTS OF CCTV 3 FOLDER: CASE OF JESSICA KUMALA WONGSO
The 37 Scientific Evidence of Digital Evidence Tampering on CCTV Footage at Olivier Café: The Jessica Kumala Wongso Case (2016), Carried Out by Muhammad Nuh Al-Azhar and Christopher Hariman Rianto, Who were Under the Leadership of the General Crime Director of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Krishna Murti, and the Chief of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Tito Karnavian.
EVIDENCE 17: CHANGES IN THE CONTENTS OF CCTV 3 FOLDER IN THE PROSECUTOR'S HANDS AT DIFFERENT TIMES
The changes in the contents of the CCTV 3 folder on a flash drive held by the prosecutor were a serious indication of issues regarding the integrity of the digital evidence in the case. This finding, revealed through a broadcast highlighting the prosecutor's flash drive when Rasmiati and Agus Triono were presented in court, raised doubts about the reliability of the evidence presented during the trial. The discrepancy in the number of video files between two different time periods raised questions about the consistency and sufficiency of the evidence to accurately depict the events in question. The lack of adequate explanation for these changes indicated a failure to maintain the integrity of the digital data held by the prosecutor and suggested potential hidden motives behind their actions.
The CCTV 3 footage is crucial in the case against Jessica Wongso, as it allegedly shows her turning towards table 54 and appearing to anticipate the presence of CCTV cameras at Café Olivier. This particular footage is pivotal because it aims to establish a narrative of premeditation and awareness of surveillance on Jessica's part, which could significantly impact the prosecution's case by suggesting that she was conscious of being watched and potentially manipulating her actions accordingly.
However, the changes in the contents of the CCTV 3 folder in the hands of the prosecutor cast serious doubt on the integrity and reliability of this critical evidence. The discrepancy in the number of video files at different times suggests that the evidence may have been tampered with or altered. Such alterations without proper explanation raise questions about whether the footage accurately represents what transpired or if it has been manipulated to support the prosecution's case against Jessica. This inconsistency undermines the prosecution's argument and could indicate a breach of the legal process, thereby jeopardizing the authenticity of the evidence presented in court.
The combination of these factors – Jessica Wongso's alleged actions caught on CCTV 3 and the subsequent unexplained changes to the footage – highlights significant concerns regarding the integrity of the digital evidence and the overall fairness of the trial. If the prosecutor's handling of the CCTV 3 folder lacks transparency and accountability, it not only weakens the case against Jessica but also erodes public trust in the judicial system. Ensuring the integrity and authenticity of all evidence is paramount to achieving a fair a

00:00Australian resident Jessica Wongso has been charged with the murder of Minis Alihin.
00:10Police allege she poisoned her friend by adding cyanide to her coffee.
00:15Jessica is like a devil.
00:17Deep inside is something like evil.
00:20It is said that the trial of the century is true.
00:29In 2017, changes in the contents of CCTV3 folder in the prosecutor's hands at different
00:35times.
00:37The changes in the contents of the CCTV3 folder on a flash drive held by the prosecutor were
00:42a serious indication of issues regarding the integrity of the digital evidence in the case.
00:48This finding, revealed through a broadcast highlighting the prosecutor's flash drive
00:52when Razmiyati and Agus Triona were presented in court, raised doubts about the reliability
00:58of the evidence presented during the trial.
01:00The discrepancy in the number of video files between two different time periods raised
01:04questions about the consistency and sufficiency of the evidence to accurately depict the events
01:09in question.
01:11The lack of adequate explanation for these changes indicated a failure to maintain the
01:15integrity of the digital data held by the prosecutor and suggested potential hidden
01:20motives behind their actions.
01:22The CCTV3 footage is crucial in the case against Jessica Wongso, as it allegedly shows
01:28her turning towards table 54 and appearing to anticipate the presence of CCTV cameras
01:34at Café Olivier.
01:35This particular footage is pivotal because it aims to establish a narrative of premeditation
01:40and awareness of surveillance on Jessica's part, which could significantly impact the
01:44prosecution's case by suggesting that she was conscious of being watched and potentially
01:49manipulating her actions accordingly.
01:52However, the changes in the contents of the CCTV3 folder in the hands of the prosecutor
01:57cast serious doubt on the integrity and reliability of this critical evidence.
02:02The discrepancy in the number of video files at different times suggests that the evidence
02:07may have been tampered with or altered.
02:10Such alterations without proper explanation raise questions about whether the footage
02:14accurately represents what transpired or if it has been manipulated to support the prosecution's
02:19case against Jessica.
02:21This inconsistency undermines the prosecution's argument and could indicate a breach of the
02:25legal process, thereby jeopardizing the authenticity of the evidence presented in court.
02:31The combination of these factors—Jessica Wongso's alleged actions caught on CCTV3
02:37and the subsequent unexplained changes to the footage—highlight significant concerns
02:41regarding the integrity of the digital evidence and the overall fairness of the trial.
02:46If the prosecutor's handling of the CCTV3 folder lacks transparency and accountability,
02:52it not only weakens the case against Jessica but also erodes public trust in the judicial
02:56system.
02:58Ensuring the integrity and authenticity of all evidence is paramount to achieving a fair
03:03and just legal process, and any deviation from this principle can have far-reaching
03:07consequences for both the individuals involved and the broader perception of justice.
03:13The forensic impact of this alteration is significant as it can affect the validity
03:17of the evidence in the case.
03:19Differences in the number of video files between two time periods call into question the consistency
03:24and adequacy of the evidence to provide an accurate portrayal of the events.
03:30If the digital evidence is inconsistent or incomplete, it undermines the authenticity
03:34of the evidence presented and leads to questions about the legitimacy of the conclusions drawn
03:39from that evidence.
03:41Inequality regarding the integrity of digital data can lead to errors in the judicial process
03:45and diminish public trust in the fairness of the legal system.
03:50If the digital evidence presented by the prosecutor is inconsistent or appears to have been tampered
03:55with, it can disrupt a fair trial process and cause doubts about the trial's outcome.
04:01Failing to ensure the integrity of digital evidence can open the door to injustice and
04:05abuse of power within the legal system.
04:08The possible motives driving the prosecutor to alter the contents of the CCTV3 folder
04:13can vary, including efforts to influence the case narrative, conceal detrimental information,
04:19or even avoid responsibility for mistakes or negligence in handling digital evidence.
04:25Such motives reflect a lack of integrity and professionalism in evidence handling and raise
04:29questions about the underlying motivations behind the prosecutor's actions in the judicial
04:34process.
04:35The manipulation of evidence, particularly digital evidence such as the contents of CCTV
04:40footage, is a severe breach of legal ethics and can have profound implications for the
04:45integrity of the judicial process.
04:48Prosecutors found guilty of tampering with evidence can face a range of penalties, both
04:53criminal and professional.
04:55Manipulating evidence undermines the fairness of the trial, can result in wrongful convictions
05:00or acquittals, and significantly damages public trust in the justice system.
05:05Firstly, prosecutors who engaged in such misconduct could face criminal charges.
05:11Evidence tampering is a criminal offense in many jurisdictions, and those found guilty
05:15could be sentenced to imprisonment, fines, or both.
05:20The severity of the punishment typically depends on the extent of the tampering, the impact
05:24on the case, and the prosecutor's intent.
05:28Legal manipulation designed to mislead the court or considered particularly egregious
05:32and can lead to more substantial penalties.
05:35Secondly, professional consequences for prosecutors who manipulated evidence can be severe.
05:42Prosecutors are bound by strict ethical guidelines, and violating these can result in disbarment
05:47or suspension from practicing law.
05:50The legal profession demands a high level of integrity in adherence to ethical standards,
05:55and any breach, especially one as serious as evidence tampering, can result in a loss
06:00of license to practice.
06:03This not only affects their current position but can also end their legal career permanently.
06:08Furthermore, there are procedural ramifications for the cases involved.
06:13If it is discovered that evidence has been tampered with, it can lead to the dismissal
06:17of charges or a retrial.
06:19This is because the integrity of the evidence is crucial for a fair trial, and any doubt
06:24cast on the evidence due to manipulation can render it inadmissible.
06:29This not only impacts the immediate case but can also set a precedent that affects future
06:33cases, highlighting the importance of maintaining evidence integrity.
06:38Additionally, prosecutors who fail to disclose changes in evidence to the court and defense
06:43counsel could be charged with prosecutorial misconduct.
06:47Transparency and full disclosure are essential components of the judicial process, ensuring
06:52that both sides have access to all pertinent information.
06:56Failing to inform the court and defense about evidence changes can lead to sanctions against
07:00the prosecutor, and in some cases, may result in the reversal of convictions if it is found
07:06that the nondisclosure affected the outcome of the trial.
07:09Lastly, beyond legal and professional repercussions, there are broader implications for the justice
07:15system as a whole.
07:16Cases of evidence tampering can significantly erode public trust in the judicial process.
07:22When prosecutors, who are expected to uphold the law and ensure justice, engage in unethical
07:27behavior, it casts doubt on the integrity of the entire legal system.
07:33Restoring this trust requires stringent enforcement of ethical standards and transparency in handling
07:38and presenting evidence.
07:40The judicial system must demonstrate that such actions are not tolerated and that those
07:44responsible are held accountable to maintain the integrity and credibility of the legal
07:49process.
