Overflow Hotel Information:
Have you ever wondered what happens to that drug evidence you collect at the scene? You send it to the lab, but what happens then? Why do you have to seal it like you do? Why does your crack cocaine submission lose more than 50% of its weight between the time of collection and the laboratory analysis? How does the lab determine it is even cocaine? What does the lab do with the evidence? How do they protect its integrity? When it appears in front of you in court, why doesn't it look the same as when you found it? During this hour-long broadcast, we'll follow a case from the search warrant to the courtroom to see what that evidence goes through. See how chemists test the sample to determine what it is. Find out how technology saves time. See what the lab can and can't do, and learn the limitations of what the evidence can prove in court. Learn how to help the lab help you make your case.
