Lab Analyst Notes Testimony

227 items · 227 documentary · 107 with detail pages

Lab analyst notes from LAPD's serology and DNA divisions—the documentary record of evidence processing at Bundy and Rockingham. Gregory Matheson's reports and inventory records became the defense's target. Scheck's cross-examination highlighted chain-of-custody gaps and contamination risk; Goldberg countered with LAPD's documented protocols. The jury faced a fundamental question evident in these notes: did rigorous lab procedure secure the forensic evidence, or did procedural failures compromise it?
