The prosecution or claimant produces the evidence that supports its case. Anything that undermines it is at best in the unused schedule and at worst never extracted. Defence forensic work exists to close that gap.
Where independent review adds value
- Testing the methodology used by the other side's examiner, on the record.
- Reviewing the source material for context omitted from produced excerpts.
- Identifying alternative explanations consistent with the technical evidence.
- Challenging the chain of custody when there are documented gaps.
The style that works in court
The most persuasive defence reports are calm, specific and technical. They resist the temptation to argue the case. They set out what the evidence supports and what it does not, and let counsel do the rest.
