Ethics

The forensic scientist, no matter where or by whom he is employed, works only for truth. He must make sure that the examination is ­complete, the tests performed are done correctly, the interpretation of the data is thorough, the written report is correct and easily understood by a non-scientist, and the testimony is complete and truthful. Anything less is not acceptable.
