Shelby County DA’s Office Adds AI to Speed Case Reviews:

The Shelby County District Attorney’s office is the latest to add artificial intelligence to its toolbox, announcing it is now using a locally developed AI to speed case reviews. District Attorney Steve Mulroy said at a press conference that the system could save “thousands of man-hours of work in a given year,” the Commercial Appeal reports. The tool, Foltrigg.ai, was developed by Memphis-based Lokion under Cosmos Holding. It is designed to organize and analyze large volumes of lawfully obtained evidence to help prosecutors identify relevant information more efficiently. Mulroy declined to specify what type of evidence the software would review but said all evidence still will be checked by prosecutors to ensure accuracy and that strict security measures will be in place.

Curious they mentioned "lawfully obtained evidence". What are they doing with the potentially unlawfully obtained evidence.

Evidence can be obtained unlawfully and the remedy would be exclusion at trial, but it can, and does, exist!
