- “I wanted to let you know how helpful the work was that your Company did on our case. The District Attorney dismissed the case this morning based on the fact that the video surveillance as enhanced by Stephen Buller showed that my client was not the person in the video.

- “The undersigned has been acquainted with and has utilized the services of Mr. Stutchman for approximately the past seven years. I unreservedly recommend Mr. Stutchman for his expertise, devotion to task and quality of work. In an attempted murder case in 1994, his graphics, aerial photographs, enhancements of video and audio tapes were state-of-the-art. He testified as an expert witness for us in these areas. Since that time he has testified on numerous occasions as an expert. In short, I heartily recommend Mr. Stutchman to anyone needing his services and will be happy to speak to anyone concerning his qualifications.”

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
No. C 02-974 JSW (PR)
MICHAEL HUTCHINSON, Petitioner,
vs.
JIM HAMLET, Warden
Respondent
“Expert witness Gregg Stutchman first became involved in Petitioner’s case when he was contacted by reporter Rick Tulsky of the San Jose Mercury News, who was doing a study of the criminal justice system in Santa Clara County’s lower and appellate courts.
Gregg Stutchman subsequently testified at the evidentiary hearing before this Court as an expert in photogrammetry.
This Court credits the testimony of Stutchman, who was credible and whose testimony was very persuasive.”

- “I wanted to send you a somewhat belated thanks for the work you performed on behalf of my client. The enhanced and slowed tapes were the straw that finally broke the rather sturdy back of the prosecutor. All eleven robbery counts were dismissed on the eve of trial, and my client and the co-defendant were released after spending nine months in jail for a crime that they didn’t commit. On behalf my client and myself, I send you a heartfelt thanks.”
