Examination
of Evidence

"Physical
evidence cannot be intimidated. It does not forget. It sets
there and waits to be detected, preserved, evaluated and explained."
Herbert
Leon MacDonnell "The Evidence Never Lies"

To have
evidence constitutes having power. The power to demonstrate the events of
the crime; the who, what, when and where. The power to place a witness on
the stand knowing his or her story is corroborated by the evidence.
All
examinations conducted by Forensic Consulting utilize methods "generally
accepted in the forensic sciences." We strictly adhere to the
principles of impartiality and objectivity in our pursuits.
The
examination and rendering of opinions on items of evidence is only one facet of
our work. We realize the importance of being able to communicate these
results to a judge or jury in such as way as to promote their
understanding.
Forensic
Consulting brings to each case its pride as an organization, our reputation for
veracity and the dedication, experience and expertise gained in our professional
careers.

In
most instances analysis of drug samples should only be conducted after a
thorough examination of bench notes, charts, data, instrument printouts and
other material generated in the original analysis. We would recommend
obtaining a court order whenever these examinations are anticipated.
