A law enforcement officer was investigating an alleged shooting of an animal identified on the endangered species list. During the investigation, a physical confrontation occured between the officer and a suspect. As a result of the altercation, the officer suffered debilitating injuries and filed a personal injury lawsuit. Of critical importance to the case was an audio tape of the incident recorded on a microcassette recorder hidden inside the officer's jacket. Due to the recording device's less than ideal location, poor room ambience, the presence of other voices, and the scuffle itself, much of the recorded material was muffled and filled with extraneous sounds making it difficult to understand and thus dimishing its evidenciary value. The recording was brought to Courtroom Audio Visual Enchancement to improve the clarity.
