4 assignment

Last week, you evaluated on-scene analysis and documentation. This week, the focus will shift to the scientific processes accomplished within the crime laboratory. In addition to the scientific processes, it is important to understand the standards applied to determine if the scientific process and its results can or should be admitted at trial. While science uses the peer review process to evaluate credibility, the courts also use case law to evaluate the standards for forensic science.Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the following:From the text:Chapter 5: Forensic ToxicologyChapter10: Blood and Other Biological FluidsChapter 11: DNA AnalysisThe articles:Surrogate Testimony AfterWilliams: A New Answer to the Question of Who May Testify Regarding the Contents of a Laboratory ReportWhat Happens If Autopsy Reports Are Found Testimonial?: The Next Steps to Ensure the Admissibility of These Critical Documents in Criminal TrialsTo Analyse a Trace or Not?
