Criminal Defense
In criminal matters, LexActa.Cloud is used to systematically review police reports, witness statements, and the rest of the discovery. The tool works the same way for defense counsel and victim advocates — it reviews the record as it stands, not from a predetermined position.
Evidence review
Every item of evidence is traced back to its source: a witness statement, physical evidence, an expert report, or the prosecutor's summary. The tool shows when a conclusion rests on a single item and when several independent sources point the same way.
Gaps in the investigation
The tool flags possible investigative gaps: leads that were not followed up, alternative explanations that were not tested, and contradictions between statements that were never addressed.
Grounds for a motion
By tracing statements to their source and testing conclusions against the record, it becomes clear where the charging document goes further than the evidence supports. The tool suggests language to build on in a motion or at trial.
Proportionality and pretrial detention
Where bail, pretrial detention, or other conditions are at issue, the record is reviewed against necessity and proportionality standards the same way as any other argument.
The result is a structured map of the strengths and weaknesses in the discovery, which counsel uses as a starting point for their own judgment.

How to Review a Police Investigation
Review a police investigation by systematically going through witness statements and physical evidence one at a time, testing whether the charging document is actually supported by the record, and identifying alternative explanations the investigation did not address.
Read the guide →Evaluating Evidence in Criminal Cases
The evaluation of evidence in a criminal case is structured by weighing each item of evidence on its own, then against the charging document, and finally against reasonable alternative explanations, before the evidence as a whole is measured against the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
