Facial Recognition Expert Witness

facial recognition expert witness – how moshe greenshpan uses facial recognition to help defendants

I founded Face-Six in 2012 and have served as a facial recognition expert witness in dozens of court cases. I was among the first in the world to leverage facial recognition technology to help acquit wrongfully accused defendants.

If your client is rightfully claiming they are not the person shown in the police’s video or photo, our world-class facial recognition technology can establish that in a court of law.

A Justice Tool for Defense

Rather than using facial recognition as a tool of surveillance, defense teams are employing it to uncover flaws in prosecution evidence. In one case, my analysis led to the exoneration of a misidentified minor, pivotal testimony that dismantled the credibility of the prosecution’s video evidence. In a stabbing case, my expert testimony compelled the prosecution to agree to a plea bargain. In other cases, simply making the judge and the prosecution aware that the defense possessed my expert opinion (before it was even submitted to the court) prevented the judge from forming a prejudicial view and encouraged the prosecution to be more flexible, and also made them less confident.

Why Expert Witnesses Matter

Defense attorneys are increasingly turning to facial recognition expert analysis to establish misidentification and support their clients’ claims of innocence. This tool, once unavailable to defense teams, is now becoming both accessible and popular. A facial recognition forensic expert should have practical experience using facial recognition software, and not just an algorithm background.

I work in 3 independent steps. First, I run an objective facial recognition examination, making sure it’s not your client in the police’s video, then I prepare a facial recognition expert opinion, and then, if needed, I give a testimony in court. Here are the 3 steps in more detail:

1) Face Recognition Examination

In this step, I examine the materials the police use and run a facial recognition comparison of the video against the client’s face. I conduct an independent, science-based analysis to determine whether the faces match, without bias. At the end of that step, we can clearly say if it’s your guy in the video or not. This step can take up to a week.

If the results of the facial recognition process show it’s not the defendant in the images or the video, then we can move to the second step:

2) Facial Recognition Expert Opinion

Once the identity of the suspect in the video doesn’t match your client’s, then I start preparing a facial recognition expert opinion for court. The expert opinion explains in detail the examination process, its results, and its conclusion, leaving no room for error. This step can take 2-4 weeks.

3) Testimony

In many cases, testimony is required in court to explain the facial recognition process and its conclusions. A cross-examination is then performed by the prosecution, often involving detailed and rigorous questioning. The cross-examination requires the facial recognition expert witness to clearly explain the forensic analysis and justify the conclusion. The ability to communicate complex findings in a clear, accurate, and defensible manner is essential to ensuring that the court properly understands the evidential value of the facial recognition analysis.

If you’re seeking a facial recognition expert witness who brings integrity, technical precision, and courtroom-tested credibility, I’m here to help defend the innocent.
