Abstract
The maintenance of a high standard of scientific inquiry into crime in every respect, from visiting the crime scene, if necessary, to giving evidence in Court, is the first obligation of any forensic scientist. It is incumbent on him to ensure that as far as is humanly possible the results of his analysis be it the examination of blood, documents, bullets, glass or other matter, attain the high standards demanded by society through the Courts. No expert witness of any length of experience would ever claim in Court that he had never made a mistake — as indeed would any other professional person — but society rightly expects the expert witness in particular to be especially vigilant in the conduct of his examination and assiduous in his pursuit of all possible causes of error.
