Video Evidence Analysis for Criminal Defense

Stop Watching Bodycam at 1x Speed. Review Discovery the Way Defenders Actually Work.

Evidence Copilot turns your discovery dump — bodycam, jail calls, 911 audio, police reports — into timestamped, citable transcripts with an AI evidence agent that answers questions down to the exact second of video.

The Discovery Pile Is Winning

• Digital discovery is in nearly every case — and it arrives as an unindexed dump — Digital evidence is a factor in about 90% of criminal cases, and the Bureau of Justice Assistance estimates video appears in about 80% of them. Yet the discovery dump still lands as hundreds of unstructured files — body-worn camera footage, dash cam video, 911 audio, jail calls, scanned police reports — with no transcripts, no index, and filenames like X13qrt9__x3455.mp4. Before you can read a report against the footage, someone has to scrub every file by hand.
• Workload standards are a fantasy — discovery review is the first thing that slips — Public defenders work roughly 3 times too many cases per the National Public Defense Workload Study — far above the NAC caseload standards. As workloads rise, time spent across all defense tasks drops by 18%, with discovery review falling 12–26%. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel means effective review, not a skim — but when caseloads triple, the bodycam gets a fast-forward pass instead of a frame-by-frame one.
• Manual review eats the hours you need for suppression and cross — A murder case averages 248 hours of attorney time; a life-without-parole felony averages 286. Every hour spent scrubbing unindexed body cam footage is an hour not spent on the motion to suppress, the Miranda timeline, or cross-exam prep. Manual review of hours of body-worn camera footage consumes exactly the strategy time the case turns on.

Why Criminal Defense Attorneys <span class="gradient">Choose Evidence Copilot</span>

• Find the impeachment moment in minutes — Find the impeachment moment in minutes, not scrubbing sessions. Full-text search runs across every transcript and document in the case — police report text, OCR'd scans, diarized bodycam transcripts with word-level timestamps. Ask where the officer's account of the stop diverges from the footage, and the agent reads transcript windows, grabs video frames, and extracts clips — with a citation that seeks the exact second of video or page of the PDF. Auto-signals flag candidate inconsistencies (report vs bodycam, statement vs jail call) on ingest, before anyone thinks to ask.
• Defense-only by design — Defense-only by design, with chain of custody you can defend. Built for defenders, law clerks, investigators, and PD offices — not police or prosecutors. Upload bodycam, interrogation footage, 911 audio, jail calls, and scanned reports; originals stay immutable while redactions produce new derived files, frame-accurate for video and word-precise for audio. Every action is audited, and every AI output is marked AI-generated and pending human review — the tool drafts, the attorney decides.
• Published pricing, no sales wall — Published pricing with no sales wall: Solo at $39/user/mo with 15 media-processing hours, Firm at $99/user/mo with 60 hours and a priority queue, PD Office at $750/attorney/yr with 100 hours. Every plan includes the full workspace — transcription, OCR, the evidence agent, redaction, playbooks — no feature tiers. Overage is metered and hard-capped at 3x included hours, so a discovery dump from a multi-defendant case can't runaway-bill you.

What's included

• Transcription with speaker diarization and word-level timestamps, so a bodycam transcript is searchable and citable to the exact second — one-click speaker renaming propagates across every segment.
• OCR turns scanned police reports and photo evidence into searchable, citable text, with bounding boxes kept for redaction.
• The AI evidence agent answers questions with clickable citations, extracts clips, grabs frames, writes notes and timeline events, and emails transcript excerpts.
• Auto-signals compare every new file against earlier evidence in the case and surface candidate inconsistencies as unreviewed review signals.
• Agent playbooks — Suppression Motion Prep, Miranda Timeline, Exhibit List Builder — draft grounded outlines with both sides quoted and cited.
• Manual frame-accurate video, audio, image, and PDF redaction; AI-suggested regions file as suggestion cards marked 'AI-suggested — needs review' and nothing is ever auto-applied.

Quick wins

• Use the Miranda Timeline playbook to build a chronological custodial-interrogation timeline from interrogation footage and reports — every event tied to a cited source moment.
• Link bodycam, dashcam, and interview-room footage to a single master clock with multi-camera sync — synced playback and interleaved transcripts, with auto-sync proposals reported with match evidence and never auto-applied.

How it works

1. Dump your discovery in — Upload video, audio, images, and PDFs up to 2 GB per file — or forward everything to your per-case inbound email address and let two-way email intake do the work.
2. Get transcripts, OCR text, and signals — Deepgram Nova transcription with speaker diarization, OCR'd document text, and auto-signals surfacing candidate inconsistencies between the report and the bodycam.
3. Prep with cited answers — Ask the agent questions, draft cross-exam and suppression outlines with both sides quoted, sync multi-camera footage to a master clock, and export an exhibit pack with a MANIFEST.md citation index.

What clients say

The auto-signals caught a line in the police report that didn't match the bodycam audio before I'd even finished my first pass. The citation took me to the exact second, and I had the clip extracted for the suppression hearing the same morning.

— Marcus Delgado

We forward discovery straight to the case email address and everything just lands — diarized transcripts, OCR on the scanned reports, inconsistency signals. My clerks stopped building spreadsheets to track files and started actually reviewing evidence.

— Priya Raman

The Suppression Motion Prep playbook quoted both sides with citations I could check in one click — consent, search scope, stop duration, Miranda. It drafts questions, not conclusions. That's the line I needed it to hold.

— Dana Whitfield
