Evidence

Every case brought before a judge must have evidence. Evidence is collected the moment law

enforcement arrives on the scene. However, how that evidence is collected and stored allows a

defense attorney the opportunity to scrutinize the individuals who collected the content. For

example, the OJ Simpson and Robert Blake cases brought scrutiny to evidence collection and

made the public develop a mistrust of how evidence is stored.
