Muskingum County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office in Ohio to Digitally Transform Evidence Management with NICE Justice

The AI-powered solution will help the office address the avalanche of digital evidence, and better equip attorneys in pursuit of justice for victims

NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that the Muskingum County (Ohio) Prosecuting Attorney’s Office will be deploying NICE Justice, one of the AI-powered solutions in NICE’s Evidencentral platform, to address challenges associated with growing digital evidence, which has increased twenty-fold in just the past few years. The Office is the first Prosecuting Attorney’s Office in Ohio to invest in NICE technology to digitally transform evidence intake, analysis and discovery, to better equip attorneys in their pursuit of justice for victims.

The cloud-based NICE Justice solution digitally transforms how prosecutors’ offices manage discovery, receive and share digital evidence, and create their work product and trial exhibits. Freed from dealing with discs, drives, emails and logging into multiple systems to manually manage and prepare evidence, with NICE’s solutions attorneys and staff can focus on building and presenting compelling cases. NICE Justice features built-in AI and automation capabilities for managing digital evidence that include automated case building, face/object detection, video and audio transcription and translation, optical character recognition (OCR), analytics, and finding evidence and case connections.

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, said, “Forward-thinking prosecutor’s offices and criminal justice agencies around the world, now including Ohio’s Muskingum County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, are digitally transforming with NICE Justice, and freeing staff from the manual work of managing digital evidence so they can successfully prosecute cases.”

Muskingum County Prosecutor Ron Welch, said, “The Muskingum County Prosecutor’s Office is committed to making the community safer by holding criminals accountable, protecting the innocent, and bringing justice to victims of crime. Digital evidence is essential to our mission. NICE Justice’s multi-faceted approach to digital transformation will help us recoup time that would otherwise be lost to collecting and managing digital evidence, so our assistant prosecutors can focus all of their time and talents on prosecuting cases. NICE Justice is going to better equip our office to obtain justice for victims.”

As a full-service prosecutor’s office, the Muskingum County (Ohio) Prosecuting Attorney’s Office handles several thousand cases annually. The quantity of digital evidence associated with cases has steadily increased, with cell phone downloads, surveillance video, doorbell cameras and body-worn video. In a matter of two years, the digital evidence maintained by the office has increased from two terabytes to forty-five terabytes.

The Office receives evidence in a myriad of ways, from nine law enforcement agencies, including the Ohio State Patrol. NICE Justice will streamline evidence intake by providing a single portal through which all agencies can upload digital evidence. Once uploaded, evidence is automatically deposited into digital case folders in the cloud and immediately available for viewing. Additionally, attorneys are automatically notified any time new evidence is received. They can also share discovery with the defense through a trackable, digital process.

NICE Justice also features evidence analysis tools to jumpstart the trial preparation process, including built-in software for transcription, redaction, and video clip and timeline creation. “People are chronological information gatherers; they want to know what happened first, and what happened next,” explained Prosecutor Welch. “When you have a multifaceted investigation, you may have different pieces of information that tell that story of what happened. Being able to use NICE Justice to put digital evidence in chronological order, and provide accurate transcriptions, will greatly enhance a jury’s understanding so we can present an effective case.”
