Episode 3
This episode follows on from episode 2’s focus on independent reviews with a conversation with David Schudel, PhD. As an expert in multiple fields of forensics science- forensic chemistry, fire analysis, cell site analysis….and seemingly the goto guy for all the weird cases, he has an interesting vantage point for a forensic scientist.
Episode 2
What happens when the crime laboratory gets it wrong? In this episode we discuss the issues with relying solely on laboratory accreditation to determine if a forensic science laboratory is doing the testing correctly, what happens when a lab fails as it did in Washington, D.C., and how other laboratories manage to recover and regain customer confidence. We explore how organizations like the Texas Forensic Science Commission work to ensure quality forensic science work by taking action and the better way for laboratories to respond and improve after a complaint.
