From crime scene to courtroom — how evidence is collected, preserved, and challenged.
Evidence has a lifecycle. It is collected, catalogued, stored, analyzed, and presented — and at every step, the chain of custody can make or break a case.
This section examines the journey of evidence from crime scene to courtroom, and the failures that can derail justice along the way.

Evidence does not simply exist — it travels through a complex, failure-prone lifecycle that begins the moment a crime is discovered.
