When prosecutors prepare for trial in complex homicide cases, the challenge is rarely a lack of evidence. It is the opposite.

Investigations today generate enormous volumes of digital material. Body-worn camera footage, surveillance video, audio recordings, call logs, reports, and documents are often spread across dozens of systems and formats. Preparing that material for courtroom use requires precision, verification, and time. Time is usually the one thing prosecutors do not have.

That reality came into sharp focus in a triple homicide case in Colorado’s 11th Judicial District, where District Attorney Jeff Lindsey faced the task of preparing a high-stakes trial built on more than 500 gigabytes of digital evidence.

The Case

The case involved the fatal shooting of three individuals and the attempted murder of a fourth in a small mountain community in southern Colorado. Hanme Clark was arrested on November 20, 2023, following a shooting that left Robert and Beth Wade Geers and James Daulton dead, with a fourth victim critically injured. Investigators allege the violence stemmed from an escalating land dispute, culminating in a targeted attack that shocked the close-knit community and triggered an intensive multi-agency investigation.

Investigators were confronted with an extensive and highly complex body of digital evidence. In total, the case included more than 500 GB of raw data, spanning:

• Body-worn camera footage from responding and arresting officers

• Trail camera footage capturing activity before, during, and after the shootings

• 911 calls recorded in real time during the incident

• Audio interviews, investigative reports, and thousands of PDFs

• Retail surveillance footage documenting the defendant’s movements before the crime

In a traditional workflow, preparing this volume of material for trial requires weeks of manual review. Files are opened one by one. Videos are reviewed manually. Reports are cross-referenced repeatedly. Bates-stamped exhibits must be re-verified every time they are cited.

Under trial deadlines, that process creates risk. Referencing the wrong clip. Losing time locating a cited exhibit. Scrambling late in preparation to assemble a coherent narrative.

The prosecution needed speed, but more importantly, confidence. Confidence that every piece of evidence referenced in court could be located, verified, and presented.

Using TimePilot for Trial Preparation

Rather than relying on manual evidence review, the prosecution team centralized the entire evidentiary record within TimePilot.

Video, audio, and documents were ingested into a single searchable environment. From there, the team could:

• Locate evidence in seconds by keyword, timestamp, or Bates stamp

• Navigate long-form video and jump directly to relevant moments

• Move fluidly between reports, footage, and audio without breaking context

• Verify that any cited exhibit could be produced immediately in court

• Build trial-ready presentation materials directly from verified evidence

The effect was less about automation and more about orientation. Instead of hunting for files, the prosecutor could focus on understanding how the evidence fit together and how it would be experienced by a jury.

Building the Timeline

The most impactful use of TimePilot during trial prep came during timeline construction, a task that typically consumes enormous time.

Using the platform, the prosecution team assembled a clear chronological sequence of events showing:

• Victims arriving on the property

• Trail camera footage documenting movement across the land

• The defendant’s presence minutes before the killings

• The 911 call capturing the shooting as it occurred

• Body-worn camera footage from first responders and the arrest

• Surveillance footage documenting pre-incident preparation

Each video was pre-set to begin at exact timestamps for courtroom presentation. This eliminated the need to scrub through footage in front of a jury. Visual aids were layered in to orient jurors to camera locations, access points, and lines of movement.

What normally happens late, often in the most stressful phase of trial preparation, was completed earlier and with far more clarity.

The Trial

During trial, the prosecution team used the TimePilot timeline to present evidence in a chronological sequence, moving seamlessly between video, audio, and documents. This allowed testimony to be immediately corroborated and helped the jury experience the case as a clear, continuous narrative.

The prosecution team reported that TimePilot fundamentally changed how trial preparation was managed:

• Evidence verification could be completed in seconds

• Timeline construction was finished far earlier than in prior cases

• Trial preparation felt controlled instead of reactive

“I was blown away by how much time this saved. Even though I’m not especially tech-savvy, TimePilot was intuitive and easy to learn. For the first time, I wasn’t scrambling in the weeks leading up to trial. I actually felt ahead.”

— Jeff Lindsey, District Attorney, 11th Judicial District Colorado

In addition to building the timeline, the prosecution team used TimePilot during the trial to quickly surface key evidence and address points of confusion raised by the defense in real time.

For example, when the defense suggested that the surviving victim identified someone other than Hanme Clark as the shooter during a 911 call, the prosecution was able to quickly retrieve the recording using TimePilot. Within seconds, the team played the call for the court, clearly demonstrating that the victim did in fact identify Hanme Clark—resolving the issue and eliminating any ambiguity for the jury.

The Outcome

On February 19, 2026, Hanme Clark was found guilty on all counts in a triple-homicide case. The judge sentenced him to three consecutive life sentences plus an additional 51 years.

Why This Matters

High-stakes criminal trials demand precision. They also demand speed.

This case isn’t about AI replacing human judgment. The prosecution team still made the decisions. AI simply helped make sure the evidence was easy to understand, properly verified, and ready to present clearly and on time.

“In a case this complex, confidence comes from knowing your evidence inside and out. TimePilot ensured nothing was buried, nothing was lost, and nothing caught us off guard.”

— Jeff Lindsey, District Attorney, 11th Judicial District Colorado

In a complex triple homicide trial like this one, that difference matters.
