Forensic Evidence "The Devil is in the details"

The details of a matter are its most crucial aspect. Forensic evidence is evidence obtained by scientific methods such as ballistics, blood test, and DNA test and used in court. Forensic evidence often helps to established the guilt or innocence of possible suspects. Analysis of forensic evidence is used in the investigation and prosecution of civil as well as criminal proceedings. Simply put, any item considered to be of evidentiary value that can be examined by a person of specialized training to give an opinion about it. Some examples of forensic evidence are death investigation/crime scene, forensic pathology, DNA blood/saliva/bodily fluids (Biological/Serology), ballistics, fingerprints, digital forensics (phones/computers). Digital forensics include computers, cell phones, vehicles, banking, and all social media sites. Why + How = Who. Forensic evidence can help determine one, or all, of the 3 components. Some myths about forensic, there are always fingerprints, there is always DNA, everyone who commits suicide leaves a note, must have forensic evidence to prove a case, time of death, and every death case has the same evidence.
