Summary

Utilizing Forensic Science in Criminal Cases provides an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for applying forensic science to benefit your case and client. Featuring experienced 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 DNA and fingerprints to videos and accident reconstruction. With a dual focus on attacking the prosecution's evidence while simultaneously preventing an attack on a client, these top authors discuss how forensics can be used successfully in a defense strategy. These lawyers also address the importance of expert witnesses and how to best employ one to support or refute scientific information during a case. Finally, these leaders reflect on forensics errors that can occur, recent technological advancements in forensic science, and how to deal with juries tainted by the "CSI effect". The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts on the keys to success within this complex field.
