Several times, we’ve seen cases where the Apple Watch helped save lives, call the police, ambulance or the like.
Now, however, Ma's device was the key to justice being done in a murder case in Australia.
Australian history Myrna Nilsson, who was killed in her home in September 2016, was told by Daily Mail. When the police were still analyzing the case, your daughter-in-law Caroline Nilsson said Myrna had been attacked by a group of men who forced her into the property after an incident of rabies on the road.
Unfortunately for Caroline, her mother-in-law was wearing an Apple Watch at the time she was killed, which totally changed the direction of the investigations.
After Ma's device was examined, the testimony was found to be different from what appeared in the data; the prosecutor in the case, Carmen Matteo, told the court that the daughter-in-law's story was “proven false and that the home invasion crime scene had been fabricated”.
A forensic expert analyzed the Apple Watch and, calculating the timing of the event, came to a seven-minute difference since she was attacked until her death.
The prosecution combined these times with information about energy levels, movement, heart rate, to arrive at the conclusion that the deceased must have been attacked around 6:38 pm and certainly died at 6:45 pm.
These times conflict with Caroline's testimony, who stated that her mother-in-law would have had a discussion with the alleged attackers for 20 minutes. In addition, the evidence shows that Caroline sent a text message to her husband at 7:02 pm and accessed eBay at 7:13 pm.
After all this saga and with all the data collected from the Apple Watch, the suspicions of Myrna's death fell on her daughter-in-law, who was accused of committing the crime. Of course, Caroline's defense attorney denies the charge, but she returns to court in June.
This is not the first time that an Apple device has been used as evidence for crimes, and since its data is quite reliable, it is unlikely to be the last.
