Michael Dillmore
Tallahassee Police Department digital forensics investigator who testified as a witness in both the 2019 Garcia–Magbanua trial and the 2022 Magbanua retrial.
About
Dillmore authenticated and explained portions of the digital evidence introduced in these trials: the phone extractions, the warrant-obtained iCloud material, the message threads, and the contact-list entries were all authenticated and explained through this witness, and counsel later cited that foundation when the authenticity of early text messages came up. The same testimony also marks the limits of that evidence — which data was reviewed and which was not, and what a shared contact number does and does not establish — making it a useful reference point for understanding both the reach and the boundaries of the digital record in the Markel case.
