...but how is the prosecution able to prove the files exist on someone's device if they don't have to disclose how they determined that the files were present? If all they have to do is assert that the files exist and were "forensically obtained" then why bother with the backdoor in the first place?

They are required to disclose everything. This slide reads like it was written by someone whose knowledge of criminal procedure comes from TV.
The title page credits the document to a presentation by a detective in Oregon. Have any journalists tried to verify the source and accuracy of this document? It's unclear from the article submission why it was submitted or how the submitter found it.

Edit: I just read the current top comment listing the names of the supposed presenters.
