Bericon Forensics are proud to launch their new series of guides for solicitors called Evidence Essentials.
Each guide has been written by a forensic expert with many years of experience in the criminal justice system and the presentation of forensic evidence. These guides will serve as up-to-the-minute references for anyone involved in criminal defence work.
The first in the series is all about DNA evidence and will be followed next month by a guide to Drug Driving.
A defendant charged with drug driving was found not guilty after an analysis by Bericon Forensics. The analysis showed the defendant’s THC levels were slightly above the legal limit. However, the expert suggested that the THC level could have dropped below the limit within a few hours due to the defendant’s regular cannabis use. This uncertainty contributed to the not guilty verdict.
