Human Fallibility In Forensic Scientists
I focused on human error and the misrepresentation of data and credentials within forensic scientists. I further divided those into two subtopics: intentional and unintentional. My final argument was that the most important aspect is the way in which the expert relays their testimony to the jury. To conclude, I focused on why this happens and why is it important. Finally, I concluded the paper with a personal connection as to why this is important for future lawyers. This allowed for a comprehensive overview in the fallibility of forensic scientists.
