"The Devil is in the details" with Detective Garside
The details of a matter are its most crucial / essential / significant 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
establish 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.
Any item considered to be of evidentiary value that can be examined by a
person of specialized training to give an opinion about it.

In the Geld of Forensic Evidence, you must be:
A jack of all trades
Willing to keep up with trends and technology
General knowledge (lifestyles, religions, fads, evidence outside
you discipline)
Able to work in conjunction with a team of other specialist
WHY + HOW = WHO
Forensic Evidence can help you determine one , or all, of the 3 components
There is not always enough forensic evidence to test, or none at all.
ex: no finger prints, diligence to find it
-twins have same DNA but different fingerprints
Attention to detail - good
Think outside the box - good
cant see the forest for the trees - bad
Sucessful Investigati9ons
Think as four people at all times: dective, suspect, prosecutor, attorney
