New York, NY — Duncan Levin, managing partner of Levin & Associates, PLLC, will speak at an upcoming Beverly Hills Bar Association program titled “When Seeing Isn’t Believing: Challenging Visual Evidence in Modern Prosecutions.”
The program will take place on Thursday, June 11, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific via Zoom.
The presentation will address one of the most rapidly developing issues in criminal litigation: how courts, prosecutors, and defense counsel should evaluate visual and audio evidence in an era of AI-generated media, deepfakes, synthetic voice recordings, manipulated video, and other forms of digital evidence that may appear authentic but require rigorous scrutiny.
The program will examine authentication, chain of custody, voice identification, forensic reliability, and the limits of existing evidentiary doctrine as synthetic media becomes increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect.
“For generations, lawyers have relied heavily on the assumption that visual evidence carries a special kind of persuasive force,” said Duncan Levin. “But in modern prosecutions, that assumption has to be tested. The legal system must be prepared to confront evidence that looks real, sounds real, and may nevertheless be unreliable, manipulated, or entirely synthetic.”
Levin, a former federal prosecutor and former Chief of Asset Forfeiture at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, regularly represents individuals and entities in criminal, regulatory, and investigative matters. His practice includes complex white-collar defense, asset forfeiture, anti-money laundering matters, internal investigations, and high-stakes criminal litigation.
The program is free for Beverly Hills Bar Association members.
