About this title

Synopsis

Millions of taxpayer dollars have been invested in developing the physical sciences that have been applied to forensic technologies and techniques. Even more has been spent erecting state-of-the-art crime labs across the country, all for the well-intentioned purpose of doing justice. What has been the societal impact of this investment? Is the current system sufficiently balanced so that it actually enhances criminal justice outcomes?

Utilizing Forensic Science in Criminal Cases examines this critical social issue and also provides an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for leveraging forensic science to benefit your case and client. Featuring the finest criminal defense attorneys from across the country, this book guides the reader through the different types of forensic evidence that come into play during criminal cases, from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and DNA to fingerprints, dash-cam videos, and accident reconstruction.

With a dual focus on attacking the reliability of the state's evidence while simultaneously preventing an attack on a client, these top authors discuss how forensics can be applied successfully in a criminal defense strategy. These lawyers also address the importance of expert witnesses and how to best employ their expertise to support or refute scientific information presented during pre-trial hearings and at trial.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business and legal intelligence from leading C-Level executives and lawyers. Each chapter offers thought leadership and expert analysis on an industry, profession, or topic, providing a future-oriented perspective and proven strategies for success. Each author has been selected based on their experience and C-Level standing within the business and legal communities.
