Part autobiography, part thought piece, part references, the book
takes an insightful look at the experience and cases of renowned
paediatrician and forensic expert witness Dr. Charles Ferguson. The
book presents the interaction of science and law as it applies,
specifically, the Canadian courts, but the justice process as a
whole. Dr. Ferguson's experience-from a scientist and medical
professional's perspective-in dealing with lawyers, judges, and the
process of testifying in numerous court-offers a unique glimpse
into how the two worlds of science and law don't always mesh. In
some cases the evidence is compelling and definitive. In others,
far from it. Ultimately, the book presents the important role of
the forensic expert and expert witness as a vital and deciding
factor as the courtroom proceedings play out. The cases presented
in the book-cases Dr. Ferguson was personally involved with-are
interesting, the conclusions and results arrived at by Dr. Ferguson
are well thought out and backed by his scientific expertise. The
results and conclusions arrived at by the courts is often expected,
sometimes surprising-in specific cases even controversial.
Throughout all, Dr. Ferguson casts an independent, and sometimes
critical, eye on the process presenting a compelling argument and
heartfelt recommendation for science, objectivity, and justice to
be served based on truth-truth insofar as the "facts" of the cases
presented through evidence and the testimony provided within the
judicial process. A fascinating read for university students,
experts and witnesses, lawyers and judges, and anyone involved in
the forensic process in the trying of criminal and civil cases.
