It seems to me that the defense could call a witness to testify that if the photos were altered it would be detectable and how it would be detectable (markers, inconsistencies, etc). I'm not an attorney but that certainly seems reasonable even for an unsophisticated jury/ judge.

Except that Nifong will call in an expert witness who will testify just as sincerely that the photos could be altered without a trace. When faced with two contradictory experts most people will go with their original bias. The judge to not admit and the jury to not believe.
