Analysing forensic evidence | The Laboratory

Dr Angela Gallop is chief executive at Forensic Access and a renowned forensic scientist. She has worked on many high-profile forensic investigations - including the murder of Stephen Lawrence - where painstaking laboratory analysis on trace evidence taken from the scene of a crime helped to provide key evidence in court. She reveals the variety of evidence investigated in the laboratory, from textile fibres, blood stain patterns and DNA profiling, and explains how lab analysis on evidence in the Coastal Path murder case helped to secure a conviction in court.
