Hi, it seems that the OIC went through the phone himself rather than sending it off to forensics, leading to the timeline being much faster than usual. The volume of images found was very high across all categories. But I just wondered if this is usual because I've been reading this forum since it happened and it seems unusual that it doesn't be sent off to an independent forensics service?

If they have the kit to download the phone in house it is possible. They often do both, so the forensics experts can provide a step by step process that is more likely to be admissible in court. It'll boil down to what region you're in I think. I suppose if his pictures weren't deleted but accessible on the phone there's no need for expert forensics either. My person's has come back very quick too - under 3 months... I wonder if we're in the same area!

4 months almost and waiting. When bail was extending they said they would try hurry it up, still waiting. Constantly on my mind if not distracted.
