New Commentary: Believe the Totality of the Evidence
The process of investigation is vital to the rights of the individuals - both defendants and
victims; in civil and criminal cases - and our justice system. In the investigations of death, it can
have additional impacts – from civil and criminal, to insurance benefits and closure to families.

The evidence is not wrong. The interpretation, application of circumstances, and looking at
evidence only individually instead of the totality of the evidence and circumstances can be
wrong.

If the findings are wrong...
- someone may be wrongfully convicted; or
- someone may get away with a crime; or
- family may lose benefits; or
- family may be misinformed, lingering questions, and no closure.
