Abstract:
The paper describes a case study of particular interest and representative of speaker identification and speech attribution problems in real environments. The authors were
recruited as technical consultants by the accused (already convicted) person’s lawyer
to report on a probable misidentification of her client in two environmental recordings,
with the goal of obtaining a scientific analysis and subsequently requesting an eventual
review of the sentence. The results, carried out by the experts blind to the overall criminal
proceeding, led to a conclusion of rare clarity in this field, and to the evident presence of
a clear mistake in the speaker’s voice attribution. It is believed that the description of the
work (albeit anonymized) may be of strong interest to those working for the promulgation
of audio forensics and forensic phonetics scientific methodologies in real contexts such as
preliminary investigations and legal proceedings.
