Forensic Scientists Are Improperly Swaying Juries Warns Senior Judge
One of the countrys most senior judges yesterday launched a scathing attack on forensic scientists and their methods. Trial juries can be improperly influenced when confident and convincing experts give evidence that damns a suspect, Lord Justice Leveson said. He cast doubt on the reliability of DNA evidence and even the use by the courts of fingerprints a method of identifying criminals that has been relied on by detectives and lawyers for a century. The judge called for a system of accreditation to make sure that forensic experts are properly qualified, warning that at present anyone could set themselves up as a forensic science expert and produce evidence that, at best, is unhelpful and, at worst, positively misleading. Lord Justice Leveson delivered his criticisms to a gathering of forensic experts at a time of growing controversy over the way science is used in court to sway juries. Lord Justice Leveson also spoke at length of the notorious cases of Angela Cannings and Sally Clark, both of whom were wrongly jailed for murdering their children. In both cases, the mothers were convicted on the evidence of paediatrician Professor Sir Roy Meadow. Lord Justice Leveson added: There exists a real difficulty that just because an experts evidence is presented as scientific it may be taken to be reliable.
