It has been a long road since gathering evidence at the crime scene to your subpoena to testify to that same evidence at trial. You are confident as to the validity of the evidence but know the defense attorney will attack the integrity of the evidence. You are confident your training and lessons learned here will assure the evidence will be in good standing. You also want to make sure that the jury and other respected members of the court understand the science and relevance of the evidence from the crime scene. You are now being called to the witness box as the state's expert witness.

Answer the following questions:

• If you had a choice to weigh in with evidence at a trial, what type of fiber evidence would you be most confident in testifying to and why?
• What safeguards would you like to see to prevent errors in forensic science?
• Provide your thoughts on forensic science and the opportunities for error.
