TRANSCRIPT:


This week on the Writer's Detective Bureau. Circumstantial evidence, cops lying during interviews and burned out. I'm Adam Richardson and this is the Writer's Detective Bureau.

This is episode #11 of the Writer's Detective Bureau, the podcast dedicated to helping authors and screenwriters write professional quality crime-related fiction. Each week I mentioned that listeners helped me with covering the cost of this podcast by supporting me for as little as $2 a month through Patreon. In addition to my first supporters, Joan Raymond and Guy Alton, I also have to thank authors Natasha Bajema, Natalie Barelli, Joe Trent, Siobhan Pope, Leah Cutter and Kim Hunt Harris for their support of this podcast.

Please support them by checking out their author websites which you can find in the links inside the show notes at writersdetective.com/11. Learn how to set up your own Patreon page by visiting writersdetective.com/patreon.

First forensic is a word that simply means applied to law. Using forensic as an adjective is modifying some field. Usually, it's forensic science. Essentially that is science applied to law. That's what forensics means.

If you are a forensic accountant, that means it's accounting applied to law. Reading into the question, obviously, we're talking about forensic science. Evidence that is based in forensic science is usually indirect evid...                                                                                   Continue reading...
