They just upgraded the ''csi'I heard a whole discussion about it on safm a few weeks back.They improved the effiency by some insane number.

Interview on Radio 702 with forensic scientist, a few weeks ago. Can't remember the names.

Well, I guess that you also need technicians - but scientists are required to interpret the results.

And this will obviously take many years just to train the technicians.

I'd actually never heard of that. Wow... @ the parents... Your daughter gets hit in the head with a brick, stoned and stabbed to death based on the colour of her skin, her murderers are released five years later and you shake their hands :sick:
