| Summary: | Problem: False accusations and wrongful convictions are
victimizations by the investigatory and criminal justice system
Remedy: Resorting to scientific observations of crime scenes
Objectives
I) To elucidate that improprieties in 'observing' crime scenes per se
involving equivocal deaths lead to imagine 'homicide' impelling
the investigators, prosecutors and judges to accuse/convict an
innocent individual wrongfully
II) To stress that 'observing' a crime scene in situ is part of forensic
science practice and 'crime reconstruction' is the responsibility
of the forensic investigator, a forensic science generalist
Ill) To recommend the following remedial measures
a) rejuvenating 'forensic science generalists'
b) inclusion of forensic science crime scene
management- as part of the law curriculum |
