Challenging Forensic Evidence

Attacking unreliable forensic science in serious felony cases.

Forensic science applications are increasingly prevalent in criminal prosecutions. However, inadequate forensic methodologies represent a significant factor in wrongful conviction cases.

Types of Forensic Evidence

Prosecutors frequently rely on various forensic evidence types, such as:

Fingerprint analysis;
DNA testing;
Forensic odontology;
Comparative bullet lead analysis;
Ballistics analysis;
Drug testing;
Firearms identification;
Tool mark identification;
Memory science;
Pattern matching;
Blood spatter analysis.

Reliability and Admissibility

For courtroom admissibility, forensic science must demonstrate reliability through repeatability, reproducibility, and accuracy. Yet judges seldom exclude problematic or deceptive forensic testimony, allowing trial courts to continue accepting questionable evidence.

Finding a lawyer who understands the right way to attack faulty forensic science can protect against wrongful conviction outcomes. Our attorneys possess extensive criminal system knowledge and will aggressively challenge prosecution forensic evidence in serious felony matters.
