Cell Site Analysis Evidence

CSA evidence is the practice of providing location based information about a given mobile telecommunication device (typically a humble mobile phone).

Interesting ruling from the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal in the matter of THE QUEEN v RICHARD DAVID McCARTAN and BARRY DAVID SKINNER - which was reported in the press back in 2002 as the 'Sports Car Murder'

Simply put, the courts took the view that the appellants' failure to provide some form of explanation as to why their mobile telephone were in a given locale, ultimately undermine their own appeal which rested heavily on CSA evidence (para 38).
