Analyzing your evidence part 2
This episode discusses other types of physical evidence such as footprints, tool marks and prints on paper. I also touch on your physical appearance when in court. Please stay away from the 1970 disco era look. Have some good business suits or jackets, ties and shirts. Women should try for the same effect of professional dress such as a suit or suitable business wear.
Should you be in uniform, try and wear at least a clean shirt so the court does not see the coffee and donut stains!
