Abstract

Reviews the legal position governing the circumstances under which fact-finders in criminal proceedings, particularly jurors, are allowed to listen to audio recordings in the context of a voice-comparison exercise for the purposes of identifying the speaker. Examines the estimator and system variables that may affect the exercise's accuracy, and suggests potential safeguards that could be introduced to reduce misidentification.
