That's because they really haven't been around long enough to establish precedence in court cases.
I do know the insurance industry was vary slow to adopt and still doesn't like digital photos. They are too easy to alter by almost anyone with any experience with a photo program. Any question about the digital image has to be answered by an expert and often 2 experts won't agree. So if something winds up in court any pictures may not be accepted by a jury as being unaltered. When I was an adjuster long after digital cameras were available most insurance companies wanted film photos for that reason.
Picture this (pun intended), you are on a jury where someone has be accused of insurance fraud. So far the evidence is iffy. So the prosecutor start entering digital images as evidence and has an expert claim they are un touched good photos. The defendant's lawyer calls his expert who says I think they were altered and points out why. Now keeping in mind "no reasonable doubt" are you going to vote to convict? Now add in that a lot of folks think insurance companies are evil and anyone who beats them is a hero. Now this guy, who most likely is guilty walks just because the evidence is called into question.
That doesn't mean digital images can't help convict, it means that a competent defense lawyer with a client with deep enough pockets can call into question another so called expert.
