In this interview he shares his views and experiences on the use of evidence obtained from mass graves in criminal trials, including his experience as a trial judge in the case of Radovan Karadzic. He discusses issues of admissibility as well as the probative value of mass grave evidence, including the significance of site visits for the judiciary. He considers some of the evidential challenges that arise when perpetrators relocate bodies from mass grave sites, sometimes more than once, and speaks about the value of DNA evidence relative to other forms of forensic evidence. He concludes the interview with some advice to new and budding lawyers.
