At Science on Trial, we specialize in providing comprehensive forensic science consulting services tailored specifically for CIU’s and CRU’s. We will reveal areas where scientific evidence was neither robust nor irrefutably reliable.
Summary Review of All Pending Cases:
We efficiently review all pending cases to identify those with the most problematic science. Science on Trial highlights cases where flawed forensic evidence may have led to wrongful convictions.

This targeted approach ensures economical use of the CIU's resources, facilitating quicker corrections of convictions rooted in unreliable science, ensuring justice is served by correcting errors in faulty scientific testimony.

We are committed to ensuring a knowledgeable but also unbiased approach to evaluating the reliability of scientific evidence.
