Is Forensic Evidence Reliable?

Introduction

In the United States, Forensic evidence has been in use for over one century. The fundamental reason that causes forensic evidence to be reliable is its proof through scientific processes which place a given individual at the scene of the crime. However, throughout years, forensic evidence has generally been accepted by the courts with no regard to the fact that there might be significant errors in the scientific process. Before the DNA testing for forensic purposes became popular, non-DNA forensic tests were used as a means to charge the individual. Through the prosecutors efforts. However, through time, non-DNA testing has been shown to be erroneous and therefore not reliable in the judicial process for the purposes of prosecuting criminal individuals (Kafadar 1).

Background

Long before the scientific methods of forensics were deemed reliable, evidence was based majorly on witness testimony in the judicial courts. Forensic evidence came about as a misunderstood science that had not proved to be reliable in the face of the changing judicial process. People had not yet reconciled the specific nature by which science provided such evidence. However, the passage of time saw to it that forensic science became an integral part of the judicial process (Kruse 3). Soon after its mild acceptance, the use of this science grew, and professionally took up courses to embrace the new science that had proven effective in the judicial society. With time, the use of forensic evidence increased immensely with the science developing at a rapid rate and providing more complex ways of providing scientific evidence ( Sheldon 1).
