They don't get to argue that. They can either prove the time stamps were altered or the can not. From what I gather it is easy enough to digital images are altered if they were.
Let's try this again with my part with all the words in:

I thought I heard the photos were verified by a forensics expert.
Modern cameras store EXIF header information in the image file. Examples of stored information are shutter speed, date and time, focal length, exposure compensation, metering pattern, make and model of camera used to take the picture, and if a flash was used. It's impossible to alter these, unless the image was run through an image editor, where the EXIF header information is stripped once the image is altered in the image editor. To have an accurate time stamp, the camera's date and time would have to be set correctly, and the original unaltered image would have to be submitted as evidence.
