Shouldn't the purpose of any forensic investigator be to get to the truth and provide evidence of it? Why is a conviction the measure of success?

- AnthonyMouse 12y agoIt gets used as a measure of success because it's measurable. You can easily count the number of defendants convicted. How do you count the number who are wrongly convicted? But you get what you measure.
- wmeredith 12y agoAn outsider would think so, but the DA and police force are motivated by convictions and conviction rate. The incentive is in the wrong place.
