> Read the file, map the evidence, build the closing — AI does the legwork.

Criminal defense lives on file mastery. Optimaite Law reads investigation and trial files (often 1,000+ pages), builds evidence indices, identifies evidence-exclusion grounds (§§136a, 252 StPO) and supports closing prep with BGH case law.

## Signature workflows

### Evidence index from 1,000-page file

AI classifies evidence (witness, document, exhibit, expert opinion), links to file pages.

### Spot evidence-exclusion grounds

AI tests interrogations for §§136, 136a StPO violations, instruction defects, right to remain silent.

### Penal-order objection

From penal order AI drafts objection with procedural motions (evidence motions, postponement).

## FAQs
### Is professional secrecy (§203 StGB) preserved?

Yes. AI processing takes place within the agreed operating and privacy model. Criminal defenders can exclude subprocessor processing as needed.

### Are audio/video recordings processed?

Yes. Trial recordings are transcribed and time-stamped against the file — full-text search across the closing becomes possible.
