    Investigative practices and crime scene procedures are crucial to ensure the suspects / defendants rights are protected.

    Most nations with defined citizens rights including Canada and especially the USA have numerous and extensive protections guaranteeing citizens rights are observed during an investigation and prosecution.

    Failure to observe these rules will result in the dismissal even permanent dismissal of charges allowing even the guilty to run free.

    In the case of OJ Simpson for example, the police failed to follow proper procedures despite his ostensible guilt and he was acquitted because the police framed a guilty man.

    If proper procedure was followed, he would've been summarily convicted.

If no longer something there will be something somewhat readable on the top of your labours, and you have discovered a helpful lesson or 2. One especially is which you do no longer could desire to start to place in writing a e book before everything. you would be waiting to alter the fast memories around as though they're chapters that's far less daunting for a beginner than seeing the long, long adventure from start to end of a e book. in the adventure that your writing is nice at the beginning you have the commencing place to construct a satisfied and in basic terms probably a financially comfortable existence. examine, take notes of each form of issues you stumble on thrilling. good success with the writing.
