Modern criminal cases me forensic evidence central role le raha hai – DNA profiles, latent fingerprints, CCTV footage, mobile tower data, chat logs, GPS trails. Ye sab story ko corroborate ya destroy kar sakte hain.
Court ke liye key questions:
- Evidence collection lawful and contamination-free tha?
- Chain of custody clear hai?
- Lab accredited hai, method validated hai?
- Expert witness credible hai, cross-examination withstand karta hai?
DNA ko “100% truth” treat karna bhi safe nahi; sample mix-up, partial profiles, secondary transfer possible hote hain. Digital evidence me tampering, deepfakes, aur spoofing ke concerns hain.
Accused aur defence counsel ke liye technical understanding zaroori ho chuki hai – blindly accept ya reject karna reasonable nahi. Forensics best tab work karta hai jab usko other evidence – eyewitness, motive, conduct – ke sath integrate karke dekha jaye.
