The cards were stacked up against Walter Swift being accused of a crime he did not commit; eyewitness misidentification, incomplete forensic testimony, government misconduct and an inadequate defense.

After reading and referring to the two articles that were provided, in my opinion I think the Daubert Standard is the best for Florida. The best cases are known to thrive from scientific evidence that can be used in court and deemed to be very important in these cases. Most judges and lawyers are not technically trained (education, work experience, or knowledge) of the evidence in a particular field such as Forensic Science. The decision to involve expert witnesses in a case can provide…

a stricter set of standards would be more beneficial to the public because it would assure litigants that the science has been proven to be reliable. Frye is based more on the opinion of other experts in the field and what is accepted. If the polygraph test were generally accepted by scientists in the field, the technique would…

As discussed in class, there are five controversial predictors when it comes to employment testing. Those five predictors are drug testing, polygraphs, integrity tests, graphologies, and genetic screening. Each of the predictors has their own set of controversies, but integrity testing is the predictor that caught my attention. Integrity tests are predictors that assess personality traits in future employees, such as honesty, trustworthiness, and dependability. If the individual is found to…

In the bible, it is noted that the first murder to be committed was by Cain, a son of Adam and Eve who killed his brother, Abel because God favored Abel’s sacrifice over Cain’s. German psychologist Hugo Munsterberg, known as the father of applied psychology was the first to…
