Functions of the Forensic Scientist
• Analysis of physical evidence• Providing expert testimony• Furnishing training in the proper
recognition, collection, and preservation of physical evidence
![Page 4: Bell Ringer 9/16 Place your HW into the appropriate folder. Clear your desk with the exception of something to write with](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ed45503460f94be51ca/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Analysis of Physical Evidence• Applies the principles and techniques of
the physical and natural sciences to the analysis of evidence – uses the scientific method
• Must be aware of the demands and constraints of the judicial system
• Scientific procedures and techniques must satisfy the criteria of admissibility established by the courts
![Page 5: Bell Ringer 9/16 Place your HW into the appropriate folder. Clear your desk with the exception of something to write with](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ed45503460f94be51ca/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Providing Expert Testimony• Expert witness: an individual whom the
court determines to possess a particular skill of knowledge in a trade or profession that is not expected of the average layperson and that will aid a court in determining the truth of a matter at trial
• Forensic scientists are expected to explain the techniques used for analyzing evidence and explain the results to the jury

Furnishing Training • In order for the analysis of evidence
to be relevant – it must be collected and tracked properly from the time it is identified at a crime scene
• All police officers are trained in basic crime scene procedures to aid in identification, and prevent contamination, of evidence
![Page 7: Bell Ringer 9/16 Place your HW into the appropriate folder. Clear your desk with the exception of something to write with](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ed45503460f94be51ca/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Determining the Admissibility of Evidence
• Not all evidence will be admissible in court, this may be due to several reasons:– Improper handling/chain of custody– Not a ‘generally accepted’ technique
for analysis
![Page 8: Bell Ringer 9/16 Place your HW into the appropriate folder. Clear your desk with the exception of something to write with](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ed45503460f94be51ca/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Frye Standard, 1923 Frye v. United States
• Court must decide if a questioned procedure, technique, or principles are “generally accepted” by a meaningful segment of the scientific community
• In practice, this has meant providing experts to testify that the procedure is generally accepted
• Courts have also taken note of books, papers, and past judicial decisions in this regard
• Problem: Not flexible when it comes to new techniques
![Page 9: Bell Ringer 9/16 Place your HW into the appropriate folder. Clear your desk with the exception of something to write with](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ed45503460f94be51ca/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rule 702• Addresses the problem w. the Frye Standard• Under this standard, a witness “qualified as an
expert witness by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education” may offer expert testimony on a scientific or technical matter if:– 1. the testimony is based upon sufficient
facts or data– 2. the testimony is the product of reliable
principles and methods– 3. the witness has applied the principles
and methods reliably to the facts of the case

Daubert Standard, 1993Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals
• Court decides on the admissibility of science in the courtroom
• “General Acceptance” is not an absolute prerequisite for admissibility
• To ascertain the veracity of scientific evidence presented the trial judge should use the following areas of inquiry: (will be on next slide)

Daubert Criteria• Technique or theory can be (and has been)
tested• Technique or theory has been subject to peer
review and publication• Technique’s potential rate of error• Existence and maintenance of standards
controlling the technique’s operation• Method or theory has attracted widespread
acceptance within a relevant scientific community

Additional Important Cases• Kumho Tire Co., Ltd. v. Carmichael,
1999– Trail judge also determines the
admissibility of expert testimony
• Coppolino v. State– Allows the trail judge to admit evidence
tested using new scientific procedures so long as they are based on valid principles and techniques

Experimental Video• While you are watching this movie,
count the number of times the team in white passes the ball to each other.
• Count silently to yourself and make no comments during the movie.

Background• Video was made as part of an
experiment designed to test people’s “inattentional blindness”
• In the original study at Harvard, only 42% of the people noticed the gorilla walking through the scene
• This activity illustrates the unreliability of eye-witness testimony

Witnesses vs. Physical Evidence
• Most witnesses do not intentionally lie on the witness stand
• Human observation is limited by memory, suggestion, and interpretation
• Memories can be confused or altered, but physical evidence stays the same

investigator on a case two years ago.
• It is now time for you to testify in court about your findings.
• The defense attorney challenges the accuracy of your testimony and implies that you observational skills are not so great.

• If he can show the jury you are not good at spotting details, he might have a chance of getting his client off.
• It is often the case in real life situations that the credibility of expert witness testimony is challenged.
• The thoroughness with which they do their jobs is critical.
