Question I – Bobby Bigmouth is sued for slander by his boss.  Bobby argues that he cannot be sued for slander because he did not publish any statement.  He argues that his alleged slanderous comment was not published because he just made the comment to a co-worker about his boss rather than making that statement to a reporter to be published.  Is Bobby’s argument correct?

Question II – During an episode of Sports Center, one of the anchors misread the teleprompter and said LeBron James was closing his school for at risk youth.  In reality, LeBron James was expanding his school.  This statement by the anchor was a slip of the tongue and corrected in the next episode.  Would LeBron’s defamation suit against Sports Center and the anchor be successful?  Why or why not?

 You are a digital forensics intern at Azorian Computer Forensics, a privately owned forensics investigations and data recovery firm in the Denver, Colorado area. Azorian has been called to a client’s site to work on a security incident involving five laptop computers. You are assisting Pat, one of Azorian’s lead investigators. Pat is working with the client’s IT security staff team leader, Marta, and an IT staff member, Suhkrit, to seize and process the five computers. Marta is overseeing the process, whereas Suhkrit is directly involved in handling the computers.

The computers must be removed from the employees’ work areas and moved to a secure location within the client’s premises. From there, you will assist Pat in preparing the computers for transporting them to the Azorian facility.

BACKGROUND

Chain of Custody

Evidence is always in the custody of someone or in secure storage. The chain of custody form documents who have the evidence in their possession at any given time. Whenever evidence is transferred from one person to another or one place to another, the chain of custody must be updated. A chain of custody document shows:

• What was collected (description, serial numbers, and so on)
• Who obtained the evidence
• Where and when it was obtained
• Who secured it
• Who had control or possession of it

The chain of custody requires that every transfer of evidence be provable that nobody else could have accessed that evidence. It is best to keep the number of transfers as low as possible.

Chain of Custody Form

Fields in a chain of custody form may include the following: 

• Case
• Reason of evidence obtained
• Name
• Title
• Address from person received
• Location obtained from
• Date/time obtained
• Item number
• Quantity
• Description

For each evidence item, include the following information:

• Item number
• Date
• Released by (signature, name, title)
• Received by (signature, name, title)
• Purpose of chain of custody

For this assignment:

1. Walk through the process of removal of computers described above from employees’ work areas to the client’s secure location and eventually to the Azorian facility. Who might have possession of the computers during each step? Design a flow chart of the process.
2. Each transfer of possession requires chain of custody documentation. Each transfer requires a signature from the person releasing the evidence and the person receiving the evidence. Include the from/to information in your diagram or flow chart.

Submission Requirements

• Format: Microsoft Word Document or PowerPoint (or compatible) or the drawing program of your choice; file saved as a PDF
• Length: 1–3 pages

Class Project: Database management systems are key element of information technology systems that are used on a day-to-day basis by many organizations. The keys to using a database management system are to collect the necessary requirements for the database, translate these requirements into a database design, create the database from the design, load data into the database, and finally to perform manipulations of the database. The purpose of this final assignment is to ensure that you understand and can carry out the necessary tasks in order to manage a sample database.

From a high-level standpoint, this final project consists of the following steps:

1. Selection of a database.

2. Identifying the requirements for the database based on the purpose for the database and the data to fill the database.

3. Create a database design based on the requirements for the database, create the physical database, and load data into the database.

4. After loading the database, carry out sample queries that would be performed on the actual database. Show the results of the sample queries.

This project will consist of a series of steps defined in the prompts of the assignment. Some of the prompts are necessary to properly prepare for the manipulation of the database whereas others will be necessary for you to complete to demonstrate your competence with the concepts of this topic. The answers to these prompts will be examined against the actual expected answers to the prompt. All prompts that will be assessed against a answer key, meaning that you will get either full, partial, or no points per prompt.
