Statement to Senate Commerce on Turning the Investigation on Science of Forensics (December 2011)

On behalf of NACDL, I am writing to express the views of the criminal defense bar on the state of forensic science and the need for specific reforms. We understand that not all of the reforms proposed here are within the Committee’s purview, but we hope that this statement serves as a useful overview of the type of systemic and comprehensive reform that is needed to ensure the reliability of forensic evidence and the integrity of our criminal justice system.
