Justice - Criminal Investigation


FORENSIC SCIENCE IN THE COURTS

By Judge Stephanie Domitrovich, Harry T. Edwards, Nancy Gertner, Michael J. Saks, Hon. David J. Waxse

Can "junk" science be good evidence? A much-anticipated report from the National Academy of Sciences, Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward, has criticized forensic science as "badly fragmented."

Surveying the current status of the field (including the use of DNA evidence, fingerprint and toolmark analysis, hair analysis, bite-marks, "voice printing," handwriting analysis, lie detection, forensic dentistry, fire investigation, and other disciplines), the NAS report makes the case for extensive, wide-ranging reforms--literally from the crime scene to the courtroom-- in civil as well as criminal cases.

JUDGES' ROUNDTABLE: THE STATE OF FORENSIC SCIENCE AND CURRENT EVIDENTIARY ISSUES

By Hon. Joy Flowers Conti, Judge Herbert B. Dixon, Jr., Judge Stephanie Domitrovich, Justice Henry duPont Ridgely, Chief Judge Donald E. Shelton

The Judges' Roundtable welcomes author/Judge Donald E. Shelton, author of Forensic Science in Court: Challenges in the Twenty First Century to its expert panel to discuss a congressionally mandated report from the National Research Council and the National Academy of Sciences that (1) found serious deficiencies in the nation's forensic science system and (2) called for major reforms and new research.

This panel will review the report's findings and discuss the implication of those findings on evidentiary issues in state and federal trials. Our panel will discuss the current status of various kinds of forensic evidence, including DNA, fingerprints, handwriting, hair, bite marks, tool marks, firearms and bullets, fire and arson investigation, and bloodstain evidence. In addition, the panel will discuss the criteria for admissibility of forensic evidence, new issues that may dramatically affect admissibility, and issues related to the qualification of forensic science expert witnesses.

LOCK-UP: INSIDE AMERICA'S PRISONS - THE CRIMINAL MIND

"We do not cure anybody," the director of Atascadero State Hospital's Sexually Violent Predator unit frankly admits. Nevertheless, many in the criminal justice community admire Atascadero's relentless efforts to treat the criminally insane. This MSNBC documentary provides an inside look at the facility, which houses several types of offender - from MDOs, or the mentally disordered, to frighteningly disturbed SVPs - any of whom are eligible to run for a seat on the inmate governing board. Interviews with a number of residents and staff members are combined with a tour of the hospital's sophisticated departments, including a colossal pharmacy that dispenses 12,000 pills per day and an in -house, unarmed police force. At Atascadero, drugs keep the peace.
