In his article series, “We need to fix forensics. But how?” Radley Balko asks top forensic experts, including CIFS’s own Keith Findley, about solutions to the problems with forensic science in the criminal legal system.
CIFS President and Co-Founder Keith Findley says, “[t]here is no one solution to the problem. The scientific communities — both within the forensic disciplines and more broadly within the academic research sciences — must validate and improve the reliability of forensic evidence.” He also emphasizes the importance of oversight by a national commission on forensic science, of education of judges, of strong defense attorneys, and more.
