Elizabeth Franklin is founder of law practice Elizabeth Franklin-Best, PC. It is a boutique law firm focused on client appeals. Her focus is on helping clients beat cases. Understanding this process is crucial for detectives and investigators. 

In this episode, part 2 of a 3 part series, we go deeper into the rabbit hole of evidence collection and how it leads to convictions and acquittals.

Elizabeth explains that mistakes in evidence retrieval can kill cases immediately. Bite marks for example have proven to be unreliable. Toxicology reports tend to be accurate. DNA still proves to be strong, but again, if collected incorrectly leads to bad convictions or guilty parties walking free.

Takeaways

1. Physical evidence can be unreliable it obtained incorrectly
2. Don’t make assumptions based on physical evidence only
3. Qualify cases by talking to people first
