She is a forensic scientist who works at NCIS and her skills are vital to every single case they solve. She is well versed in forensic science, as well as chemistry, psychology, and computer science. Despite her cold appearance, she is the warmth of the show, caring deeply about the well being of each and every member of her team. To me, Abby is like a cool older sister that taught me

    The discipline of forensic science has been under fire for quite some time now, and one can say that it is completely justified. Fraudulent and incompetent analysts, such as Annie Dookhan, have performed investigations in flawed crime labs, like that of the Baltimore crime lab, and through this process, have imprisoned the innocent, just as Cameron T.

If a lab is faulty or fraudulent, it is likely for the analysts who work within it to be flawed as well, as the two are essentially a team.…
