I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
I can’t imagine having so little to do. That would make me crazy.
Share Answer: 
That would depend entirely on what the mess up was and what it affected, and whether it was an honest mistake or the result of negligence or bias. For a serious mistake, yes, I'd probably be fired.
Share Answer: 
I do not, as I'm not trained in digital forensics. But my coworker who is says that many many times, what people think is deleted is not really deleted.
Share Answer: 
Yes, of course! You often have to be a little flexible in your schedule, but it's no more a problem than in any other job.

I see that on TV all the time but I have a hard time believing it. But I don't know personally. Sorry!
Share Answer: 
I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.
