My Career as a Bloodstain Analyst
 |
"True expert opinion is neutral. It is not invested in one side of the case or another; rather, its aim is to ensure impartial and unbiased opinion based upon a foundation of proven evidence. A true expert, such as Cst. Slemko, gives due consideration to other possibilities, even if it means discounting his or her own views."
"Wolf in Sheep's clothing - Advocates as Experts"
Criminal Defence Lawyers Assoc. (Calgary)
"The decision to consult Joseph Slemko had paid dividends.............."
"The Murder of
Billie-Jo"
By: Sion Jenkins and Bob Woffinden
"Mr.
Slemko has, since 2002, provided careful, detailed and balanced opinions on this
area of evidence."
United Kingdom
"I appreciate your efforts in this case and more broadly I appreciate your efforts to inject some scientific rigor into your area of expertise"
Canada
"His sharp and detailed report is of immense value to (our police agency)"
South East Asia
"Thank you very much for your considerable
assistance in this matter. I believe that your report, particularly
with respect to the police forensic results concerning the tie, was
instrumental in the State deciding not to lead the tie luminol
evidence.............Your evidence would have been pivotal along
with the other forensic evidence that we would have called."
Australia
"In my opinion, your input so far has been beyond price. It has opened everyone's eyes to another way of looking at the evidence."
Australia
".......Slemko's evidence was provided in a professional and extremely competent manner........the evidence was presented in an objective and professional way......In future, I would consider using Slemko's expertise in an appropriate case."
Canada
"Your testimony was great......I appreciate all your work and professionalism"

One of the ethical obligations of a true professional is to reject easy answers and conventional wisdom and persistently pursue the truth"
"Character and Cops"
Edwin Delattre
"The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them"
Lois McMaster Bujold
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly, one begins to twist the facts to suit the theories, instead of the theories to suit the facts."
Sherlock Holmes
"A Scandal in Bohemia"
"Tunnel Vision" - "A single-minded and overly narrow focus on a particular investigative or prosecutorial theory, so as to unreasonably color the evaluation of information received and one's conduct in response to that information."
Mr. Justice Fred
Kaufman

Involving Guy Paul Morin (wrongful conviction)
"If, in your analysis, you do not consider reasonable alternative explanations of an event, then what you are doing is not science."
